Answer:


y = \infty

Explanation:

We are given

f(x) = \left((x^7+3x^4-15)/(x^5+3x)\right)

and asked to find

\lim _(x\to \pm \infty ) f(x)

Note in the numerator x⁷ is the dominating term. So the behavior as

x \rightarrow \pm \infty is controlled by this term

Similarly in the denominator, x⁵ is the dominating term and the behaviour as
x \rightarrow \pm \infty is controlled by this term

So

\lim _(x\to \pm \infty ) f(x) \\\\= \lim _(x\to \pm \infty ) \left((x^7+3x^4-15)/(x^5+3x)\right)\\\\\\= \lim _(x\to \pm \infty ) (x^7)/(x^5)


\text{$ (x^7)/(x^5) $ simplifies to $ x^2 $}


\lim _(x\to \pm \infty ) \left((x^7+3x^4-15)/(x^5+3x)\right)\\\\\\= \lim _(x\to \pm \infty ) (x^7)/(x^5)\\\\\\= \lim _(x\to \pm \infty ) x^2\\\\= \infty

y = \infty
