Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding two functions, f(x) and g(x), that meet specific limit conditions as x approaches 3 from the right. The conditions include both functions tending to positive infinity and their difference not equating to zero in the limit.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants attempt to define functions f(x) and g(x) that satisfy the limit conditions, with one participant questioning the correctness of their limit calculations.

Discussion Status

There is ongoing exploration of the limit of the difference between the proposed functions, with some participants affirming that the choices for f(x) and g(x) appear to be valid based on the limit results discussed.

Contextual Notes

Participants emphasize the importance of correct notation and parentheses in the expressions for the functions.

The Attempt at a Solution


f(x) = x/(x-3)
g(x) 3/(x-3)
?
Correct use of parentheses is important .

Well, what is lim x→3+ (f(x)-g(x)) for those functions?
 
Lim x->3+ (x-3)/(x-3) = 1? ≠0

Therefore, your choices for f(x) and g(x) look good !
