Homework Statement
This is a question from a past exam paper:
Compute the limit:
lim x→∞
(2x[itex]^{3}[/itex] + x)[itex]/[/itex](3x[itex]^{2}[/itex] − 4x[itex]^{3}[/itex])
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I really had no idea how to approach this but the solution is:
lim x→∞
(2x[itex]^{3}[/itex] + x)[itex]/[/itex](3x[itex]^{2}[/itex] − 4x[itex]^{3}[/itex])
= lim y→0+
(2 + y[itex]^{2}[/itex])[itex]/[/itex](3y − 4)
=
2[itex]/[/itex]−4
= −1[itex]/[/itex]2
Hopefully someone can explain to me the method used to obtain this answer.
