When we say as a variable n tends to infinity, we mean as n gets very very large. For example. If we look at 1/n as n tend to infinity, then n gets very large and 1/n goes to zero.

What is the maximum point for the equation y equals X squared?

There is no maximum because y tends to + infinity as x tends to + or - infinity.


What is sine infinity?

Sine does not converge but oscillates. As a result sine does not tend to a limit as its argument tends to infinity. So sine(infinity) is not defined.


What are the asymptotes of a logarithmic function?

As x tends towards 0 (from >0), log(x) tend to - infinity. As x tends to + infinity so does log (x), though at a much slower rate.

How many asymptotes can a bounded function have?

I believe the maximum would be two - one when the independent variable tends toward minus infinity, and one when it tends toward plus infinity. Unbounded functions can have lots of asymptotes; for example the periodic tangent function.


What is the limit of x divided by e to the x as x approaches infinity?

Limit as x tends to ∞: x/e^xAs you can see, as x approaches infinity, the sum becomes ∞/∞. Now we use l'Hospitals rules.d/dx(x) = 1 (Derivative)d/dx(e^x) = e^x (Derivative)therefore, the sum can be written as lim x tends to ∞ 1/e^xNow as x approaches infinity, the sum = 1/∞ = 0Therefore, lim x tends to infinity: x/e^x = 0


What is the formula to find the least common multiple of first n natural numbers?

There is no exact formula. To find the sequence of LCMs see http://oeis.org/A003418/list. LCM(1, 2, 3, ..., n) tends to en as n tends to infinity. Equivalently, ln[LCM(1, 2, 3, ..., n)] tends to n or ln[LCM(1, 2, 3, ..., n)] / n tends to 1 as n tends to infinity.
