There are multiple ways to interpret this question-that is, you could mean either (5-x+cosx)/x or 5-x +(cosx/x). The limit of the second option is negative infinity because as x approaches infinity, |cosx/x|≤1, so 5-x+cosx/x is very close to 5-x, and 5-infinity is basically negative infinity. For the first option, we consider that -1≤cosx≤1. This implies that, as x approaches infinity, lim of (5-x-1)/x≤lim of (5-x+cosx)/x≤lim of (5-x+1)/x. Simplifying, we get that, as x approaches infinity, lim of (4-x)/x≤lim of (5-x+cosx)/x≤(6-x)/x. Simplifying our new limits, we get -1≤lim of (5-x+cosx)/x≤1. It is now clear that the limit of (5-x+cosx)/x as x approaches infinity =negative 1.

What is the limit of x squared plus four x plus four all over x squared minus 4 as x approaches 2?

The "value" of the function at x = 2 is (x+2)/(x-2) so the answer is plus or minus infinity depending on whether x approaches 2 from >2 or <2, respectively.


Is zero divided by zero equal to zero?

Actually 0/0 is undefined because there is no logical way to define it. In ordinary mathematics, you cannot divide by zero.The limit of x/x as x approaches 0 exists and equals 1 so you might be tempted to define 0/0 to be 1.However, the limit of x2/x as x approaches 0 is 0, and the limit of x/x2 as x approaches 0 does not exist .r/0 where r is not 0 is also undefined. It is certainly misleading, if not incorrect to say that r/0 = infinity.If r > 0 then the limit of r/x as x approaches 0 from the right is plus infinity which means the expression increases without bounds. However, the limit as x approaches 0 from the left is minus infinity.

What is the minimum and maximum points of y equals x2-4x plus 5 all over x-2?

(x-2) is not a factor of the numerator and so y tends to minus infinity as x approaches 2 from below. As x approaches 2 from above, y tends to plus infinity. There are, therefore, no maximum or minimum values for y.
