lim(sqrt(16*x^4+sin(x))/x, x->+inf)
1) Compute the limit of 16x4 + sin(x)x as x+∞
The limit of x4 is +∞ when x+∞
The limit of 16x4 is +∞ when x+∞
The limit of sin(x) does not exist but is bounded in [-1, 1] when x+∞
The limit of 16x4 + sin(x) is +∞ when x+∞
The limit of 16x4 + sin(x) is +∞ when x+∞
For 16x4 + sin(x)x, the limit takes the indeterminate form +∞+∞ when x+∞
2) To find the limit, we can factor out the dominant term and transform 16x4 + sin(x) into 16x4·(1 + sin(x)16x4)
16x4·(1 + sin(x)16x4)x
16·x4·1 + sin(x)16x4x
4·abs(x2)·1 + sin(x)16x4x
The inside of abs is non-negative: abs can be removed
4x2·1 + sin(x)16x4x
To reduce the expression, we can replace the fraction: x2x with the new expression: x
4·x·1 + sin(x)16x4
The limit of sin(x)16x4 is 0 when x+∞
The limit of 1 + sin(x)16x4 is 1 when x+∞
The limit of 1 + sin(x)16x4 is 1 when x+∞
The limit of 4x·1 + sin(x)16x4 is +∞ when x+∞
So the limit of 16x4 + sin(x)x is +∞ when x+∞
Result:   +∞
