Solution

The image contains a series of limit problems. Let's solve these problems one by one. I'll start with a detailed solution to a few of them. Please let me know if you'd like explanations for all of them or specific ones.


6. limx0xx44x3\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x}{x^4 - 4x^3}

Factor the denominator: x44x3=x3(x4)x^4 - 4x^3 = x^3(x - 4) The limit becomes: limx0xx3(x4)\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x}{x^3(x - 4)} Simplify: limx01x2(x4)\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x^2(x - 4)} As x0x \to 0, the denominator x2(x4)0x^2(x - 4) \to 0, leading to divergence. The limit does not exist.


7. limxx2x2x2\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x - 2}{x^2 - x - 2}

Divide numerator and denominator by x2x^2: limxx2x21xx22x2\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\frac{x - 2}{x^2}}{1 - \frac{x}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x^2}} Simplify: limx1x2x211x2x2\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\frac{1}{x} - \frac{2}{x^2}}{1 - \frac{1}{x} - \frac{2}{x^2}} As xx \to \infty, all terms with 1x\frac{1}{x} or 2x2\frac{2}{x^2} approach 0: Limit=01=0\text{Limit} = \frac{0}{1} = 0


8. limx2x3x34x+1\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{2x^3}{x^3 - 4x + 1}

Factor x3x^3 in the denominator: 2x3x3(14x2+1x3)\frac{2x^3}{x^3(1 - \frac{4}{x^2} + \frac{1}{x^3})} Simplify: limx214x2+1x3\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{2}{1 - \frac{4}{x^2} + \frac{1}{x^3}} As xx \to \infty, terms with 1x2\frac{1}{x^2} and 1x3\frac{1}{x^3} approach 0: Limit=21=2\text{Limit} = \frac{2}{1} = 2


9. limxx34x2+12x+16\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^3}{4x^2 + 12x + 16}

Divide numerator and denominator by x3x^3: limx14x+12x2+16x3\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\frac{4}{x} + \frac{12}{x^2} + \frac{16}{x^3}} As xx \to \infty, all terms with 1x\frac{1}{x}, 1x2\frac{1}{x^2}, and 1x3\frac{1}{x^3} approach 0: Limit=\text{Limit} = \infty


10. limxx2+1652x+6\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{x^2 + 16} - 5}{2x + 6}

Rationalize the numerator: x2+1652x+6x2+16+5x2+16+5\frac{\sqrt{x^2 + 16} - 5}{2x + 6} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{x^2 + 16} + 5}{\sqrt{x^2 + 16} + 5} This becomes: x2+1625(2x+6)(x2+16+5)\frac{x^2 + 16 - 25}{(2x + 6)(\sqrt{x^2 + 16} + 5)} Simplify: x29(2x+6)(x2+16+5)\frac{x^2 - 9}{(2x + 6)(\sqrt{x^2 + 16} + 5)} Factor numerator: (x3)(x+3)(2x+6)(x2+16+5)\frac{(x - 3)(x + 3)}{(2x + 6)(\sqrt{x^2 + 16} + 5)} Divide by xx as xx \to \infty: limx121+16x2+0=12\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 + \frac{16}{x^2}} + 0} = \frac{1}{2}
