evaluate the following limits
7x^9-4x^5+2x-13/ -3x^9+x^8-5x+2x

lim-- infinity

and these

2x^2+1/6+x-3x^2

lim ---- infinity

Please confirm that the expression whose limit you need to find is exactly as written above.

Am I correct in assuming that these are \displaystyle \begin{align*} \lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{7x^9 - 4x^5 + 2x - 13}{-3x^2 + x^8 - 5x + 2x} \end{align*} and \displaystyle \begin{align*} \lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{2x^2 + 1}{6+x-3x^2} \end{align*}?

Next time please either learn some LaTeX or else at least use brackets where they're needed to make the expressions make sense.

Just to clarify, you mean \displaystyle \begin{align*} \lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{7x^9 - 4x^5 + 2x - 13}{-3x^9 + x^8 - 5x + 2x} \end{align*}

arsenal12345, divide both numerator and denominator by the highest power of x ( $x^9$ in the first problem, $x^2$ in the second).

I don't see any difference...

In the denominator, it should say $-3x^9$, not $-3x^2$.
