Transcript text: Find each function value and the limit for $f(x)=\frac{5 x^{4}-10 x^{2}}{6 x^{5}+3}$. Use $-\infty$ or $\infty$ where appropriate.
(A) $f(-6)$
(B) $f(-12)$
(C) $\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} f(x)$
(A) $f(-6)=-0.131$
(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
(B) $f(-12)=-0.068$
(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
(C) Select the correct choice and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A. $\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} \frac{5 x^{4}-10 x^{2}}{6 x^{5}+3}=\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Evaluating Function Values
For x = -6, f(x) = -0.131
For x = -12, f(x) = -0.068
Step 2: Finding the Limit as x Approaches -Infinity
The highest power in the numerator is 4 and in the denominator is 5.
Since the highest power in the numerator is less than in the denominator, the limit is 0.
Final Answer:
The function values are [-0.131, -0.068] for the given x values, and the limit as x approaches -infinity is 0.
