Homework Statement If (r, θ) are the polar coordinates of a point then describe the region defined by the restrictions -1 < r < 0, π/2 < θ < 3π/2 Homework Equations No clue The Attempt at a Solution I tried drawing the curve in a polar grid by starting at π/2 and finishing at 3π/2. I was...

Thank you all! This helps a lot. I suppose I just need more experience with natural logs and the number e. When I see problems involving them I'm pretty lost! Thanks again.

Homework Statement Calculate limit as x approaches infinity of (e^x - x^3) Homework Equations ln e^x = x e^(ln x) = x The Attempt at a Solution I tried substituting x = ln e^x and got (e^x - (ln e^x)^3). I'm pretty much lost and this is my only attempt so far. I'm thinking that this is an...
