SUMMARY

The limit of the expression x*[1/x] as x approaches infinity is evaluated. The floor function [1/x] equals 0 for all x greater than 1. Therefore, the limit simplifies to lim_{x -> infinity} 0, which conclusively equals 0.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of limits in calculus
  • Familiarity with the floor function notation
  • Basic knowledge of mathematical notation and expressions
  • Concept of infinity in mathematical analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of the floor function in detail
  • Learn about limits involving piecewise functions
  • Explore advanced limit techniques in calculus
  • Investigate the behavior of functions as they approach infinity
USEFUL FOR

Students of calculus, mathematicians, and anyone interested in understanding limits and floor functions in mathematical analysis.

need to calculate lim X->infinity of x*[1/x] , while [] represent floor function .


TNX.

Isn't [1/x] = 0 for all x > 1 ?
i.e. you want to calculate lim_{x -> infinity} 0 ?
 
ok tnx ...
