Lim (7x^3+4x-17)/(4x^3-x^2)

Raw Transcript
Hello Everyone, Tom from everystepcalculus.com and everystepphysics.com. A problem regarding limits at Infinity. Index 8 to get to my menu. Scroll down to Limits. You can actually use second to go quicker on the menu, in other words, I want to go up a screen second, and up, second and up,or second and down. And here’s Limits. Click on that. And my other videos that I did previously I didn’t put Limit to Infinity here. You would access it by going to Compute Limit but when you want to put minus Infinity in there. It’s a little bit tricky do that. Well, it’s a little tricky on the Titanium to do that so I decided to put it in a actual menu. So here’s Limit to Infinity. We’re going to put the function in. Press Alpha first. Alpha left parentheses. This is a test problem. 7 times X cubed plus 4 times X minus 17, right parentheses, divided by, left parentheses, 4 times X cubed minus x squared, right parentheses. And let’s go negative infinity. Number two. And there it is there. This is the limit of this with X going to minus infinity. And I always show you if that’s correct. I always give you a change it in my programs. I say it’s okay. Then we’re going to divide all terms by the highest order term in the denominator. Which will be x cubed. Here’s the terms numerator. All divided by x cubed. Here’s the results. Now we put Infinity in for every X. Or minus Infinity, sorry. And that turns out Numerator Limit of 7. These turn out to be 0. Denominator
4 divided by the x cubed. That equals 4. And x squared divided by x cubed equals one over x. We add the minus Infinity to every x.
It turns out to be 40 Denominator Limit. The Problem Limit therefore is seven divided by four or seven fourths. Pretty neat, huh? everystepcalculus.com Go to my site and buy my programs. If you want to pass calculus and/or do your homework. And remember you’ll have these programs for life if you do that.

You are an angel sent from above TOM!!! Thank you so much for being patient with me. I got the programs to work and I am very confident I am going to pass this class once and for all. The Double and Triple Integrals programs are a life saver! Thank You Thank You Thank You!

-Cotto

Tom-    I showed my ex, who is a calculus professor, and he was waaaaaaay impressed. And he is an arrogant ass, who never helped me ever...I could tell he wanted to hate on it, but he couldnt.

Tom...I think that I’m finally done with Calculus II. In the prior test I got 78 and yesterday I finished all the problem on the test. I think I should be able to remain around the same grade. Thank you so much for your help; your programs really made the difference. They didn’t just solve the problems for you, in my case, they gave me the confidence and security I had lost with those stupid professors and the way they teach. To be honest, studying the programs on my calculator taught  me how to solve problems that I couldn’t do before due to the way they were presented. I felt confident and secure yesterday, and it only possible because either I remember  how to do the problems or the calculator would. Thanks one more time for time, dedication and quick responses. There is no other person in the whole world that would do what you do for us , college students being  killed  with freaking calculus classes.      John

Tom-     Got it to work with that link you sent me!  Just wanted to say thanks for all the great work you do, and for helping me pass this calculus class.  I'm going to tell everyone about this and make them pay the $30 dollars because you have done a splendid job programming my friend.  Let me know if you have any new programs for derivatives or integrals and Ill let you know if I need any more help!  Much thanks,                -Eric

I basically just needed to say that you're an amazing man. Basically saved my life during my emag theory course    

-DoubtingThomas  (Youtube vectors review here)

oh my god I figured it out. You're the freaking best!      -Sarah

Thanks Tom. I appreciate you taking the time to break down and explain these to me. :0)     -Nelson

 Tommy,     Great talking with you last night. I already liked you for developing this “most excellent program” but after our conversation I concluded you to be a great guy. I’ve been playing with this program most of the night, took in a few “z’s” and am back for more. This program really is superb. I did, however, notice that for some unknown reason when I attempt to do Relative Extrema’s and Trajectories that both programs came up as “Program not Found”. I’m not sure if I will be encountering the Trajectory stuff in this semester of Calculus but I do have a test this Thursday that includes Relative Extrema. Any suggestion, oh Master of this great creation?! I’m going to be gone most the day but should be home late afternoon if you got time to call. Same number (843-xxx-xxxx). That’s Myrtle Beach, 3 hours ahead of you and more golf courses than you can shake a stick at. Thanks    -Joe

Wow! Awesome! These are great, so great, thank you!            -Kristen

Tom is the man! His program is helping me pass my calculus class. He was willing to help me immediately when I couldn't get one of the programs working! This application is in my opinion a STEAL! I've never met Tom in person but I'll owe passing this class to every step calculus.
