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 sin multiplied by x minus 1 over x squared plus 2 as x approaches infinity?
As X approaches infinity it approaches close as you like to 0. so, sin(-1/2)
Why does one half plus one quarter plus one sixteenth and so on equal 1?
As the number of iterations approaches infinity, the sum approaches 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.
Is 10 divided by 0 infinity?
Undefined: You cannot divide by zero
