this is what i tried

runic hamlet
#

A is goof

#

last step of B however

#

you have e^inf= inf

#

and inf-1 = inf

#

inf+1=inf

#

so its inf/inf

#

which is undetermined

#

before taking the limit i suggest factorizing numerztor and denominatir by the exp term

plush pecan
#

factorizing?

#

how would that look like

runic hamlet
#

e^(..) * (1 - 1/e^(...)) for the top

plush pecan
#

So would the bottom just be e^(...)*(1/e^(...)+1)?

#

and the .. is the 2ag/m(infinity)? or don't include infinity

#

One more thing and i will be out, does d require any use of limits? Do i just use the exact same values of c and just change the a value?

runic hamlet
#

yeha

#

one thing : you use limits recklessly

plush pecan
#

how so

runic hamlet
#

first line of B is kinda wrong

#

lim when t-->inf= (something that depends on t)

#

also you should not replace everything right away especially when things go to 0 or infinity

#

exercises are often set up for you finding undetermined forms if you do this

plush pecan
#

How should i be writing the limit for b and when should i replace items with 0 and infinity

#

im sorry

#

that im not following too well

runic hamlet
#

transform the expression first

#

then take the limit at the end when

#

everything simplifies

#

like stzrt by factorizing as i said

#

simplify

#

then take the limit

plush pecan
#

Like this?

runic hamlet
#

well no

#

you write lim=

#

then something that is not the result of a limit

#

since there is a variable

#

oh nvm

#

like this indeed

#

but you messed up the calculations

plush pecan
#

where did I go wrong

runic hamlet
#

from the last line of the first column to the first of the second its not the same expression

#

but it gets corrected after so its ok

#

the issue is the last line

#

1/e^(inf) =|= e^(inf)

runic hamlet
#

if you have lim x->a(f(x))= something

#

there shouldnt be any x in the something

plush pecan
#

Im still confused what i change for this

#

I can spot from the last line of Column 1 and the first like of column 2

#

i accidently wrote another +1

runic hamlet
#

yeah but thats not a big deal

runic hamlet
#

you should get rid of the first like

#

line*

#

and write the second dierectly

plush pecan

runic hamlet
#

yeah

#

then for the last thing

#

whats the limit of 1/e^x when x goes tto infinity?

plush pecan
#

0?

#

because isn't 1/e^infinity supposed to be 0

runic hamlet
#

it is

#

e^inf=inf

#

and 1/inf=0

#

so replace them the right way and finish your exercise

plush pecan
#

thank u

#

One last thing, i dont know if u said yes to this. But for d do i need limits for this question

#

i would just change the a value for part c

#

and just compare right?

plush pecan
#

not undefined

runic hamlet
#

yeah

plush pecan
#

yea to which one my question

runic hamlet
#

but yeah

plush pecan
#

alright

#

thank you so much
