Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given function is f(x)=3x2+8x+6−3x2+3x+1 .

Calculation:

Substitute the value of limit in the given function f(x)=3x2+8x+6−3x2+3x+1 as shown in table:

    x limx→−∞(x2+x+1+x)
    101.4534

Answer to Problem 44E

  f(x)=3x2+8x+6−3x2+3x+1=1.4

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given function is f(x)=3x2+8x+6−3x2+3x+1 .

Calculation:

Multiply both numerator and denominator by limx→∞3x2+8x+6−3x2+3x+1 :

  limx→∞(3x2+8x+6−3x2+3x+1)×(3x2+8x+6+3x2+3x+1)(3x2+8x+6+3x2+3x+1)=limx→∞(3x2+8x+6−3x2+3x+1)(3x2+8x+6+3x2+3x+1)(3x2+8x+6+3x2+3x+1)=limx→∞(3x2+8x+6)2−(3x2+3x+1)2(3x2+8x+6+3x2+3x+1)=limx→∞5x+5(3x2+8x+6+3x2+3x+1)

divide both numerator and denominator by x :

  =limx→∞5x+5x(3x2+8x+6+3x2+3x+1)x=limx→−∞5+5x(3x2+8x+6x2+3x2+3x+1x2)=limx→−∞5+5x(3+8x+6x2+3+3x+1x2)=5+0(3+0+0+3+0+0)=523≈1.4

Thus, f(x)=3x2+8x+6−3x2+3x+1=1.4
