Answer: 0

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the degree of the numerator

Let d be the degree of the denominator

If n < d, then the limit at infinity is always 0. This is because the denominator is growing faster compared to the numerator. I suggest looking at a table of values to see this in action.

In this case, n = 3 and d = 4, so we see that n < d is the case here. So that's why the answer is 0.

----------------------

Side notes:

  • If n = d, then the limit at infinity is equal to a/b, where a and b are the leading terms of the numerator and denominator.
  • If n > d, then the numerator is growing faster than the denominator, meaning the ultimate result is infinity.
