I've never seen someone explain limit like that

#

it is quite confusing

winged portal
#

here's some of the explanation

#

but it's still a little confusing

winged portal
#

are they comparing the highest degrees of each the nominator and the denominator?

#

for polynomial divided by polynomial, we can do that

#

only for polynomial devided by polynomial, I emphasize

winged portal
#

got it

Lemme show an approach you may be interested

#

$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{6x\log x + 5x -2}{2^x \mp 2x - 14\log x} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\frac{6x \log x}{2^x} + \frac{5x}{2^x} -\frac{2}{2^x}}{ 1 -\mp \frac{2x}{2^x} - \frac{14\log x}{2^x}} = \frac{0}{1} = 0$$

because 2^x grows faster than xlogx, x, logx etc

Ye

#

I think the main idea here is just the 'speed'

#

And the solution in this image is using some very 'personal trick'

winged portal
#

Yeah they were talking about the growth rate

TBH, it's strange to write like this. Hhahaa
