limit of ln as x goes to infinity

Cacophony

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
lim (lnx)^2/x
x-->infinity


2. Relevant equations

none

3. The attempt at a solution

=5lnx/x * (1/lnx)/(1/lnx)

=5/(x/lnx)

How do I calculate x/lnx?

I do not follow you. What have you done?

Where did the 5 come from? In fact, where did any of this come from? What you have makes zero sense to me.

Also, since you haven't taken the limit yet, you should not get rid of the "lim" symbol.
This is a problem that is suited to L'Hopital's Rule. Have you covered it yet?

Cacophony,

what you typed is equivalent to:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to \infty}\dfrac{[ln(x)]^2}{x}[/tex]



Did you intend

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to \infty}[ln(x)]^{\frac{2}{x}} \ ?[/tex]
