    Proof of AM-GM Inequality: Spivak's Calculus Chapter 2 Problem 22 Part A

    Homework Statement From Spivak's Calculus, Chapter 2 Problem 22 Part A: Here, A_{n} and G_{n} stand for the arithmetic and geometric means respectively and a_{i}\geq 0 for i=1,\cdots,n. Suppose that a_{1} < A_{n}. Then some a_{i} satisfies a_{i} > A_{n}; for convenience, say a_{2} >...

    How to find oblique asymptotes for any function in general?

    You're both wrong, dale 123 is correct. To find the oblique asymptote, you must use polynomial long division, and then analyze the function as it approaches infinity. Taking the limit first, like HallsofIvy did, is wrong because 11/x and 1/x approach infinity at different rates, and therefore...
