Question
Evaluate the following limits:
`lim_(x ->oo) (x^3/(2x^2 - 1) - x^2/(2x + 1))`
Advertisements
Solution
`lim_(x ->oo) (x^3/(2x^2 - 1) - x^2/(2x + 1)) = lim_(x -> oo) [(x^2(2x + 1) - x^2(2x^2 - 1))/((2x^2 - 1)(2x + 1))]`
= `lim_(x -> oo) [(2x^4 + x^3 - 2x^4 +x^2)/((2x^2 - 1)(2x + 1))]`
= `lim_(x -> oo) [(x^3 + x^2)/((2x^2 - 1)(2x + 1))]`
= `lim_(x - oo) [(x^3 (1 + x^2/x^3))/(x^2(2 - 1/x^2) xx (2 + 1/x))]`
= `lim_(x - oo) [((1 + 1/x))/((2 - 1/x^2) (2 + 1/x))]`
= `((1 + 1/oo))/((2 - 1/oo) (2 + 1/oo))`
= `(1 + 0)/((2 - 0) (2 + 0))`
`lim_(x ->oo) (x^3/(2x^2 - 1) - x^2/(2x + 1)) = 1/4`
