The limit is 00.

Explanation:

lim_(xrarr-oo) x^2e^(8x) has indeterminate initial form oo * 0

Rewrite it to use l'Hospital's Rule

lim_(xrarr-oo) x^2/e^(-8x) Has intial form oo/oo so we can apply l'Hospital.

(d/dx(x^2))/(d/dx(e^(-8x))) = (2x)/(-8e^(-8x)) which has form -oo/-oo so use llHospital again.

(d/dx(2x))/(d/dx(-8e^(-8x))) = 2/(64e^(-8x)) = 1/32e^(8x) which goes to 0 as xrarr-oo
