find the limit of the rational function a. as x→∞ and b. as x→ - ∞. h(x)=\frac{18x^{4}}{15x^{4}+10x^{3}+2x^{2}} a. lim_{x \to infty}\frac{18x^{4}}{15x^{4}+10x^{3}+2x^{2}}=square (simplify your answer.)
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Divide numerator and denominator by highest - power of x
Divide both the numerator and denominator of the function $\frac{18x^{4}}{15x^{4}+10x^{3}+2x^{2}}$ by $x^{4}$. We get $\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{18x^{4}/x^{4}}{(15x^{4}+10x^{3}+2x^{2})/x^{4}}=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{18}{15 + 10/x+2/x^{2}}$.
Step2: Evaluate the limit
As $x\rightarrow\infty$, $\frac{10}{x}\rightarrow0$ and $\frac{2}{x^{2}}\rightarrow0$. So, $\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{18}{15 + 10/x+2/x^{2}}=\frac{18}{15+0 + 0}$.
Step3: Simplify the result
$\frac{18}{15}=\frac{6}{5}$.
Answer:
$\frac{6}{5}$
