limit calculation
The polynomial sequences always diverge to ±∞, depending on the sign of the coefficient of the greatest degree term:
Undetermined forms of limits are the limits that are different depending on the situation. They are:
The rational sequences always have an undetermined form of limit, which we have to solve by dividing by n to highest power:
NOTE: as you can see:
If we have irrational sequences, we only have to do the root of the limit. They always diverge if they exist:
We can find an undetermined form of limit if we subtract square roots, then we have to use the conjugate to solve it:
If the limit has powers, remember the property:
