calculus - Simple limit of a sequence





Need to solve this very simple limit limx(33x2+4x+133x2+9x+2)




I know how to solve these limits: by using
ab=a3b3a2+ab+b2. The problem is that the standard way (not by using L'Hospital's rule) to solve this limit - very tedious, boring and tiring. I hope there is some artful and elegant solution. Thank you!


Answer



You have f(x)=33x2+4x+133x2+9x+2=33x2(31+43x+13x231+3x+23x2)

Using Taylor expansion at order one of the cubic roots 31+y=1+y3+o(y) at the neighborhood of 0, you get: f(x)=33x2(49x1x+o(1x))
hence limxf(x)=0
