How do you find the limit as x approaches positive infinity ((x^2)-2x+3)/(6-(3x^4))?

We are going to seek the limits of the highest powers.

  • For the numerator :
    The highest power is
  • For the denominator :
    The highest power is -3x^4

The limit of your equation is thus lim((x²)/(-3x^4))
=lim((-x²)/(3x²*x²))

We simplify by :

=lim((-1)/(3x²))

And we know that lim(3x²) is +prop
And dividing -1 by a number approaching +prop makes it approch 0 ( staying negative )

Thus : lim((x²-2x+3)/(6-(3x^4)))=0
