please
any hints to solve this limit when x tends to +infinity is way very appreciated !
PS: i should not use the hopital rule...
I tried to factorize the x from the nominator and denominator but couldn't get to any result... i tried some other things.. but still nothing.

[tex]\frac{x^{\frac{2}{3}} - 3^{x}}{x^{\frac{5}{2}} + 2^{x}}[/tex]

thanks very much

Rewrite this as:
[tex](\frac{3}{2})^{x}\frac{(\frac{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}{3^{x}})-1}{(\frac{x^{\frac{5}{2}}}{2^{x}})+1}[/tex]
 
okay the limit of (3/2)^x is +infinity
but i have to show that the limit of [tex]\frac{x^{2/3}}{3^x}[/tex] is zero... how ?? maybe I have to show that it is smaller than a number, then the limit of that number should be zero... by the way, we haven't studied exponentials yet..

PS: I think this should be moved to calculus and beyond ?

the limit of [tex]\frac{x^{2/3}}{3^x}[/tex] goes to zero.

EDIT: Latex is so texy :smile:

yes.. but it is an indeterminate form... how is it equal to zero
