Evaluate the limit using the appropriate properties of limits 8x 7 x 5x2 x 3 lim Step 1 We are given the following 8x 7 lim x o 5x2 x 3 We note that as x becomes large both the numerator and the denominator become large Therefore it is not immediately obvious what happens to their ratio So we need to do s preliminary algebra Recall that to evaluate the limit of a rational function at infinity we first divide both the numerator and the denominator by the highest power of x that occurs denominator Therefore we should divide the numerator and the denominator by which of the following Ox O x
