Question #27259 Calculus Limits Determining Limits Algebraically 2 Answers kubik98 Dec 20, 2017 #e^(-4)# Explanation: #Lim_(xrarroo)((3x-4)/(3x+2))^(2x-4)# #Lim_(xrarroo)((3x+2-6)/(3x+2))^(2x-4)# #Lim_(xrarroo)((3x+2)/(3x+2)+(-6)/(3x+2))^(2x-4)# #Lim_(xrarroo)(1+1/((3x+2)/(-6)))^(2x-4)# #Lim_(xrarroo)(1+1/((3x+2)/(-6)))^((2x-4)(3x+2)/(-6)*(-6)/(3x+2))# #Lim_(xrarroo)[(1+1/((3x+2)/(-6)))^((3x+2)/(-6))]^((2x-4)*(-6)/(3x+2))# #Lim_(xrarroo)(1+1/x)^x=e# #e^(Lim_(xrarroo)((-12x+24)/(3x+2)))# #e^(-12/3)=e^(-4)# Answer link Cesareo R. Dec 20, 2017 #e^-4# Explanation: Making #1+1/y = ((3 x - 4)/(3 x + 2))# or equivalently #x = -2/3(3y+1)# we have #((3 x - 4)/(3 x + 2))^(2 x - 4) equiv (1+1/y)^(-(4y+16/3))=1/( (1+1/y)^(4y+16/3))# and then #lim_(x->oo)((3 x - 4)/(3 x + 2))^(2 x - 4) =1/( lim_(y->oo)(1+1/y)^(4y+16/3)) = 1/e^4 = e^-4# Answer link Related questions How do you find the limit #lim_(x->5)(x^2-6x+5)/(x^2-25)# ?
