PROBLEM

Find the limit: limxx63x42x22x+1\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} \frac{x^{6}-3 x^{4}}{2 x^{2}-2 x+1}.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are finding the limit as x approaches negative infinity.
. The function is x63x4xx+1\frac{x^{6}-3 x^{4}}{ x^{}- x+1}

STEP 2

We divide the numerator and the denominator by x6x^{6}, the highest power of x in the numerator.
limxx6x42x22x+1=limx1x22x42x5+1x6\lim{x \rightarrow-\infty} \frac{x^{6}- x^{4}}{2 x^{2}-2 x+1} = \lim{x \rightarrow-\infty} \frac{1-\frac{}{x^{2}}}{\frac{2}{x^{4}}-\frac{2}{x^{5}}+\frac{1}{x^{6}}}

STEP 3

As x approaches negative infinity, the terms with x in the denominator will approach0.
limx13x22x2x5+1x6=1000+0\lim{x \rightarrow-\infty} \frac{1-\frac{3}{x^{2}}}{\frac{2}{x^{}}-\frac{2}{x^{5}}+\frac{1}{x^{6}}} = \frac{1-0}{0-0+0}

SOLUTION

Calculate the limit.
1000+0=10\frac{1-0}{0-0+0} = \frac{1}{0}The limit as x approaches negative infinity of the function x63x42x22x+1\frac{x^{6}-3 x^{4}}{2 x^{2}-2 x+1} is undefined because we cannot divide by zero.
