Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on evaluating the limit as x approaches infinity for the expression (2x-1)^{10}(x-2)^{30}/((x+1)^{20}(2x+3)^{20}). A participant suggests that since the highest power is 30, it should play a significant role in determining the limit. Another user recommends dividing each term by x to simplify the expression, leading to a more manageable form for analysis. This approach helps clarify the behavior of the limit as x grows larger. The conversation emphasizes the importance of identifying dominant terms in polynomial expressions for limit evaluation.

hello,

I need some help with this limit...

\lim_{x\to \infty }\frac{(2x-1)^{10}(x-2)^{30}}{(x+1)^{20}(2x+3)^{20}}

thanks...

What ideas have you had so far?
 
The only thing I could think of was to somehow push x^30 inside the powers, but I don't know how...

30 is the strongest power when it comes to infinity, so there must be something with 30.

for \( x\ne 0 \) divide each of the 40 brackets at top and bottom by \(x\):

\[ \frac{(2x-1)^{10}(x-2)^{30}}{(x+1)^{20}(2x+3)^{20}}= \frac{(2-x^{-1})^{10}(1-2x^{-1})^{30}}{(1+x^{-1})^{20}(2+3x^{-1})^{20}}\]

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
