[itex]lim_{x\rightarrow + ∞} \frac{\int^{x^3}_{0} e^{t^2}dt}{x \int^{x^2}_{0} e^{t^2}dt}[/itex]


Attempt at a solution: I don't really know where to start. Any hints?

L' Hopital's Rule. Product Rule for the denominator. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to differentiate the integrals. Don't forget that the bounds are functions of ##x##, so apply Chain Rule (Leibniz's Rule).

After the first step, you'll end up with an expression that I'll call ##L##. Find and simplify ##L^{-1}## with a further application of all those rules. Then deduce what ##L## should be at the limit.

Thanks. When I get home I'll get to work.
