Unlock the Secrets of Calculus: Mastering the Limit of √(10 + 9x²) / (10 + 2x) as x → ∞ 🧠🔓

Unlock the Secrets of Limits: Part 1

Step 1: Start with the Original Expression

We begin with the original expression \[ \lim_{{x \to \infty}} \frac{\sqrt{10 + 9x^2}}{10 + 2x} \]. This is our starting point.

Step 2: Multiply by \( \frac{x}{x} \) and \( \frac{x^2}{x^2} \)

We multiply the terms in the expression by \( \frac{x}{x} \) and \( \frac{x^2}{x^2} \) because \( \frac{x}{x} = 1 \) and \( \frac{x^2}{x^2} = 1 \).

Step 3: Rewrite the Expression

The expression becomes \[ \lim_{{x \to \infty}} \frac{\sqrt{10 \frac{x^2}{x^2} + 9x^2}}{10 \frac{x}{x} + 2x} \].

Step 4: Factor Out \( x^2 \) in the Numerator and \( x \) in the Denominator

We factor out \( x^2 \) from the terms inside the square root in the numerator and \( x \) from the terms in the denominator. The expression becomes \[ \lim_{{x \to \infty}} \frac{\sqrt{x^2 \left( \frac{10}{x^2} + 9 \right)}}{x \left( \frac{10}{x} + 2 \right)} \].

Step 5: Apply the Square Root Property \( \sqrt{ab} = \sqrt{a} \sqrt{b} \)

We apply the square root property to get \[ \lim_{{x \to \infty}} \frac{\sqrt{x^2} \sqrt{\frac{10}{x^2} + 9}}{x \left( \frac{10}{x} + 2 \right)} \].

Step 6: Simplify \( \sqrt{x^2} \) to \( x \)

We simplify \( \sqrt{x^2} \) to \( x \), resulting in \[ \lim_{{x \to \infty}} \frac{x \sqrt{\frac{10}{x^2} + 9}}{x \left( \frac{10}{x} + 2 \right)} \].

Step 7: Cancel \( x \) from the Numerator and Denominator

We cancel \( x \) from the numerator and the denominator, which is allowed because \( \frac{x}{x} = 1 \).

Step 8: Rewrite the Expression After Canceling \( x \)

The expression becomes \[ \lim_{{x \to \infty}} \frac{\sqrt{\frac{10}{x^2} + 9}}{\frac{10}{x} + 2} \].

Step 9: Distribute the Limit to Each Term

We distribute the limit to each term in the numerator and the denominator.

Step 10: Evaluate \( \lim_{{x \to \infty}} \frac{10}{x^2} \)

The limit of \( \frac{10}{x^2} \) as \( x \) approaches infinity is 0.

Step 11: Evaluate \( \lim_{{x \to \infty}} \frac{10}{x} \)

The limit of \( \frac{10}{x} \) as \( x \) approaches infinity is 0.

Step 12: Evaluate \( \lim_{{x \to \infty}} 9 \) and \( \lim_{{x \to \infty}} 2 \)

The limits of 9 and 2 as \( x \) approaches infinity are 9 and 2, respectively.

Step 13: Substitute the Limits into the Expression

The expression becomes \( \frac{\sqrt{0 + 9}}{0 + 2} \).

Step 14: Simplify the Expression

The expression simplifies to \( \frac{\sqrt{9}}{2} \).

Step 15: Conclude

After these detailed steps, we find that the limit of \( \frac{\sqrt{10 + 9x^2}}{10 + 2x} \) as \( x \) approaches infinity is \( \frac{3}{2} \).
