  • In this video I showed how to find limit as x approaches infinity for a special radical expression. I also employed L'Hospital's rule .

    Great video. Informative and enthusiastic. I like math, but people who don't like math might start liking it if they saw how much fun it looks like you're having in these videos.

    I have watched a couple of videos of yours and I must say your enthusiasm is contagious. All this while keeping things straightforward, neither oversimplifying things not complicating them.
    It is good to revisit the fundamentals so watching these videos from time to time makes sure I don't lose grip on the most basic techniques in maths.
    Love from India. Keep doing what you're doing 😊

      To avoid misunderstandings, instead of "x^1/x," it should be written as "x^(1/x)". So, the exponent 1/x should be enclosed in parentheses as (1/x).

    the limit of a function is the function of the limit as long the function is continuous.

    • @boguslawszostak1784
      @boguslawszostak1784 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It would be important to specify where these functions are expected to be continuous, as they do not need to be continuous everywhere.

      A possibly more precise way to say it: the limit of f(g(x)) as x-->a (for some scalar a in [-inf,inf]) equals f evaluated at the limit of g(x) as x-->a if
      * the limit of g(x) as x-->a exists, equalling some value b, AND
      * f(x) is continuous at b [or in the case that b equals +- inf we require that the limit of f at +- inf exists]
      In any case: a very interesting limit in this video and a nicely explained solution! Thanks for your efforts!

    Assign x := 1/t, so that: f(x) = f(1/t)
    Then find instead, Lim: t --> 0 | f(1/t)
    (Which approaches the same limit value)
    You get:. Lim: t --> 0; (1/t)^t = 1/t^t.
    Since Lim: t --> 0; t^t = 1, then 1/t^t --> 1/1 = 1.
    Therefore: Lim: x --> infinity | f(x) = 1.

    oh hey, this exact method proves the limit of (1+1/x)^x as x goes to infinity is e, nice
    (i know it's also often given as the definition of e, but if we define e by its calculus properties instead, this proves they're the same value, which is nice)

  • @thomasbarber7739
    @thomasbarber7739 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Why not just insert 'infinity' for 'x' in '1÷x' in the fractional exponent, resulting in 'x^0', thereby reaching the same result?

    • @PrimeNewtons
      @PrimeNewtons  2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      We try to avoid 'inserting' infinity into anything. Always use infinity as limits. (Infinty)^0 is indeterminate and therefore can only be computed as a limit.

  • @seaajayy

    can be rewritten as x to the power of 1/x, since x is an increasing very big number, the result of 1/x will be closer and closer to zero. Anything to the power of 0 is 1, so the entire expression will evaluate closer and closer to 1

  • @nothingbutmathproofs7150
    @nothingbutmathproofs7150 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Excellent video! One thing that you said is not always true! Consider the limit as x-oo of x/(2x). Clearly both the numerator and denominator both go to infinity AND the denominator is larger than the numerator. However, the limit goes to 1/2 not 0 as you basically said it would (Look at 7:10 - 7:30).

    Hello sir, i want to ask something about limits which approach to infinity. When we're trying to solve a infinity limit problem we're trying to avoid inserting infinity because it's not exactly a number as we all know. So does that mean key of solving infinitiy limits is actually trying to only keep "1/x" expressions in the equation of function? So basically is only thing we can say not indeterminate "1/x" (Except another things like infinity+infinity=infinity or infinity*infinity=infinity etc.)?

  • @boguslawszostak1784

    To avoid misunderstandings, instead of "x^1/x," it should be written as "x^(1/x)". So, the exponent 1/x should be enclosed in parentheses as (1/x).

    @SimoncitoReinhardt 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wouldn't it have been much easier to stop at the second step "X raised to (1/X)" and say that it would be just like raising any number by 0? Hence 1?

    • @balendrasinghaman4589
      @balendrasinghaman4589 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      X raised 1/X, but when X tends to infinity, it's like infinity to the power zero, so it's undefined.

  • @vnms-
    @vnms- 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    But the limit gives ∞^(1/∞) since 1/∞ is 0 then it’s ∞^0 which is 1. I know infinity and zero don’t go well together but that works right?

  • @rain74925
    @rain74925 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Professor, can we argue that at step 2, "the limit of x to the power of 1/x as x goes to infinite" the limit is 1? for the limit of 1/x is 0 and any number x (including it being infinity) raised to the the power of 0 is 1?

  • @pelasgeuspelasgeus4634
    @pelasgeuspelasgeus4634 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So, the question is: is x^0 equal to 1? I don't agree with that. The definition of a^b is "take 0 and a multiplied with itself for b times". If you place b=0 what do you get? 0 or 1?

    I don't get one move here. Why is it justified to move from the ratio of the two ln functions here to the ratio of their derivatives? How do we know that move is legitimate? Perhaps I'm merely slow, but it is not obvious to me that one can do that.
