2장, 문제 2.21

Determine the following limits.
lim x→∞ (3x¹² − 9x⁷)

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the highest power of x in the expression, which is x^{12}.

Factor out x^{12} from the expression: 3x^{12} - 9x^{7} = x^{12}(3 - 9x^{-5}).

Rewrite the limit expression: \( \lim_{x \to \infty} x^{12}(3 - 9x^{-5}) \).

Evaluate the limit of the factored expression: \( \lim_{x \to \infty} x^{12} \) and \( \lim_{x \to \infty} (3 - 9x^{-5}) \).

Since \( x^{12} \to \infty \) and \( 3 - 9x^{-5} \to 3 \), the overall limit is determined by the behavior of x^{12}.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Limits at Infinity

Limits at infinity involve evaluating the behavior of a function as the input approaches infinity. This concept is crucial for understanding how functions behave for very large values of x, particularly in polynomial functions where the highest degree term often dominates the behavior of the function.

Polynomial Functions

Polynomial functions are expressions that consist of variables raised to non-negative integer powers, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication. In the context of limits, the degree of the polynomial plays a significant role in determining the limit as x approaches infinity, as the term with the highest degree will have the greatest impact on the function's value.

Dominant Term

The dominant term in a polynomial is the term with the highest degree, which significantly influences the value of the polynomial as x becomes very large. When calculating limits at infinity, identifying the dominant term allows for simplification, as lower degree terms become negligible compared to the dominant term.
