Page 151 Problem 1 Answer
We will use your calculator to find the value of g(x) for each of the increasing values of x in the table.
The values will be:
| x | g(x)=−5x+1 |
| 100 | −499 |
| 1000 | −4999 |
| 90000 | −449,999 |
| 900,000 | −4,499,999 |
| 8,000,000 | −39,999,999 |
| 50,000,000 | −249,999,999 |
As x approaches infinity, the value of g(x) decreases without. Therefore,g(x) has no limit.
As the values of x increase towards infinity, the values of g(x)=−5x+1 keeps on decreasing.

Given: f(x)=1/x
To find: lim f(x)
x→∞
Solution: Set up a table with increasing values of x.
| x | f(x)=1x |
| 100 | 0.01 |
| 1,000 | 0.001 |
| 90,000 | 0.00001111111 |
| 900,000 | 0.00000111111 |
| 8,000,000 | 0.000000125 |
| 50,000,000 | 0.00000002 |
| 2,000,000,000 | 0.0000000005 |
We will first set up a table with increasing values of x
The pattern in the table shows that as x approaches infinity,f(x) approaches 0.
It keeps getting closer to 0; it, never reaches 0.

Given: f(x)=(1+0.05/x)x
To find: lim (1+0.05/x)x
x→∞
Solution: We will create a table to find values of the function for v
The table showing various values of the function is; x f(x) to five decimal places
| x | f(x)
to five decimal places |
| 100 | 1.05126 |
| 1,000 | 1.05127 |
| 90,000 | 1.05127 |
| 900,000 | 1.05127 |
| 8,000,000 | 1.05127 |
| 50,000,000 | 1.05127 |
| 2,000,000,000 | 1.05127 |
The pattern in the table shows that as x approaches infinity,f(x) approaches a number around1.05127…
Using a table we get, Lim (1+0.05/x)x
x→∞
=1.05127 rounded to five decimal places.
