SOLUTION: a) evaluate lim x--> infinity (x-ln(x)) b) analyze f(x)= lx^3+x^2-6xl l.(f(x))..l=(absolute value)

Question 1086385: a) evaluate
lim x--> infinity (x-ln(x))

b) analyze
f(x)= lx^3+x^2-6xl
l.(f(x))..l=(absolute value)

a) Lim x->infinity { x - ln(x) } = Lim x->infinity { }
Let (i.e. just look at the inside of ln() )
Lim x->infinity {u} = Lim u->infinity {u} ( letting x -> infinity is equivalent to letting u->infinity)
Lim u->infinity = infinity
Ans: The limit does not exist, it goes off to infinity.
