Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. We are determining the nature of limits involving various forms.
2. The forms can be classified as indeterminate (IND), having a fixed finite value, or never having a fixed finite value (DNE).
3. We will use known mathematical principles and limit properties to classify each form.
STEP 2
1. Analyze each form to determine if it is indeterminate.
2. Determine if the form always has a fixed finite value.
3. Determine if the form never has a fixed finite value.
STEP 3
Analyze the form :
- This form is indeterminate because the base is infinite and the exponent is negative infinite, creating a conflict in determining the limit.
Result: IND
STEP 4
Analyze the form :
- This form simplifies to because any number raised to the power of zero is , even if the base is infinite.
Result: 1
STEP 5
Analyze the form :
- This form is not indeterminate; it always results in infinity because an infinite base raised to any positive power is infinite.
Result: DNE
STEP 6
Analyze the form :
- This form always results in infinity because any number raised to the power of one is itself.
Result: DNE
STEP 7
Analyze the form :
- This form results in infinity because a positive number greater than one raised to an infinite power is infinite.
Result: DNE
STEP 8
Analyze the form :
- This form is indeterminate because the base is one, but the exponent is infinite, leading to uncertainty in the limit.
Result: IND
STEP 9
Analyze the form :
- This form always results in because any number raised to the power of zero is .
Result: 1
STEP 10
Analyze the form :
- This form is indeterminate because the base is infinite and the exponent is zero, leading to uncertainty in the limit.
Result: IND
STEP 11
Analyze the form :
- This form results in zero because a positive number greater than one raised to a negative infinite power approaches zero.
Result: 0
STEP 12
Analyze the form :
- This form results in infinity because multiplying two infinite quantities results in infinity.
Result: DNE
STEP 13
Analyze the form :
- This form results in zero because zero divided by any infinite quantity approaches zero.
Result: 0
STEP 14
Analyze the form :
- This form results in zero because a finite number divided by an infinite quantity approaches zero.
Result: 0
STEP 15
Analyze the form :
- This form is indeterminate because multiplying zero by an infinite quantity leads to uncertainty in the limit.
Result: IND
STEP 16
Analyze the form :
- This form results in infinity because dividing an infinite quantity by zero approaches infinity.
Result: DNE
STEP 17
Analyze the form :
- This form results in one because any number raised to the power of zero is one, even with a negative infinite exponent.
Result: 1
STEP 18
Analyze the form :
- This form results in infinity because multiplying one by an infinite quantity results in infinity.
Result: DNE
STEP 19
Analyze the form :
- This form is indeterminate because subtracting two infinite quantities leads to uncertainty in the limit.
Result: IND
STEP 20
Analyze the form :
- This form is indeterminate because zero raised to the power of zero is a classic indeterminate form.
Result: IND
STEP 21
Analyze the form :
- This form results in zero because zero raised to any positive power is zero.
Result: 0
STEP 22
Analyze the form :
- This form results in infinity because zero raised to a negative infinite power approaches infinity.
Result: DNE
