Sample Problems - Solutions
1. Compute each of the following limits.
a) lim 3x4
x!1
Solution: Since the limit we are asked for is as x approaches in
nity, we should think of x as a very
large positive number. Then 3x4 is very large, and also positive because it is the product of
ve
positive numbers.
3x4 = 3 x x x x
positive positive positive positive positive
So the answer is 1. We state the answer: lim 3x4 = 1.
x!1
b) lim 3x4
x! 1
Solution: Since the limit we are asked for is as x approaches negative in
nity, we should think of x
as a very large negative number. Then 3x4 is very large, and also positive because it is the product
of one positive and four negative numbers.
3x4 = 3 x x x x
positive negative negative negative negative
So the answer is 1. We state the answer: lim 3x4 = 1
x! 1
c) lim ( 2x5)
x!1
Solution: Since the limit we are asked for is as x approaches in
nity, we should think of x as a very
large positive number. Then 2x5 is very large, and also negative because it is the product of one
negative and
ve positive numbers.
2x5 = 2 x x x x x
negative positive positive positive positive positive
So the answer is 1. We state the answer: lim ( 2x5) = 1
x!1
d) lim ( 2x5)
x! 1
Solution: Since the limit we are asked for is as x approaches negative in
nity, we should think of x
as a very large negative number. Then 2x5 is very large, and also positive because it is the product
of six negative numbers.
2x5 = 2 x x x x x
negative negative negative negative negative negative
So the answer is 1. We state the answer: lim ( 2x5) = 1
x! 1
