Limit Problem (L'H)..

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-21] [Hit: ]
= 3.I hope this helps!-Ah yes; there should be a factor of 1/6 from the power rule.This factor will make the answer 1/2.........
lim [(x^6 + 3x^5 + 4)^(1/6) -x]
x->infinity

The answer is 0.5. Please tell me how to do this. Thanks.

To keep this from getting too painful with conjugate-related tricks...

lim(x→∞) [(x^6 + 3x^5 + 4)^(1/6) - x]
= lim(x→∞) [(x^6 * (1 + 3/x + 4/x^6))^(1/6) - x]
= lim(x→∞) [x (1 + 3/x + 4/x^6)^(1/6) - x]
= lim(x→∞) x * [(1 + 3/x + 4/x^6)^(1/6) - 1]
= lim(x→∞) [(1 + 3/x + 4/x^6)^(1/6) - 1] / (1/x)
= lim(t→0+) [(1 + 3t + 4t^6)^(1/6) - 1] / t, letting t = 1/x.

Applying L'Hopital's Rule (since this is of the form 0/0) yields
lim(t→0+) [(1 + 3t + 4t^6)^(-5/6) * (3 + 24t^5) - 0] / 1
= lim(t→0+) (3 + 24t^5)/(1 + 3t + 4t^6)^(5/6)
= 3/1
= 3.

I hope this helps!
