I can't even see the pic anymore. So you're supposed to base the limit on the remainder?

Oh, ok. I'm a little less confused by all the member titles now.

The pics kinda difficult to see but I still don't see how you got 3.

Whoops!:yuck: Ok, got it. The problem is that I never would've thought of that trick without outside help...

:uhh: How did you get 3?

So that should leave the equation at x^1.5(1+x)+x and therefore a limit of 3?

I'm getting something different. :uhh: Ordering the polynomials doesn't matter right?

Ok, but I still don't see how to get rid of the 1-x part. I'll finish the long division though I can't remember it all that well.

How did you get that part?

Yeah, I see now but I don't see how that will help me factor the top though...

Wait, I see how you got those two parts though I'm not sure how that would help me out though.:uhh:

Yeah, my mistake. Not used to typing it all out on a keyboard.:tongue2: Edited.

How did you get that? Not exactly sure how you got that as well... So, what about the remainder resulting from the long division? You're saying that it'll factor into ((1-x)(x^1.5+x))/(1-x). The 1-x will cancel out leaving x^1.5 +x?

How exactly would that work out (I'm kinda lost here)? I'm just trying to rationalize the function so as to find the limit for it.

I tried getting it into other formats such as x^.5-x^2/1-x^.5 but it didn't work out too well.
