What is the limit of #(-5x^3) /( 3x^2-1) # as x approaches infinity?

1 Answer

Aug 11, 2016

#= - oo #

Explanation:

#lim_{x to oo} (-5x^3) /( 3x^2-1) #

#=lim_{x to oo} -x * (5) /( 3-1/x^2) #

#= lim_{x to oo} -x * lim_{x to oo} (5) /( 3-1/x^2) # (as both these limits exist)

#= - oo * (5) / 3 #

#= - oo #
