SUMMARY
The limit of the function x^3e^(-x^2) as x approaches infinity is 0. This conclusion is reached by applying L'Hôpital's Rule, which simplifies the evaluation of limits involving indeterminate forms. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing the exponential decay of e^(-x^2) outweighing the polynomial growth of x^3. The final solution confirms that as x increases indefinitely, the product approaches zero.
