We'll calculate the expression f(x) -
x:
f(x) - x = (x^3+3x)/(x^2+1) -
x
f(x) - x = [(x^3+3x) -
x*(x^2+1)]/(x^2+1)
We'll remove the
brackets:
f(x) - x = (x^3 + 3x - x^3 -
x)/(x^2+1)
We'll eliminate like terms inside brackets from
numerator;
f(x) - x =
(2x)/(x^2+1)
Now, we'll evaluate the limit, if x approaches
to -infinite:
lim [f(x) - x] = lim
(2x)/(x^2+1)
We'll force the factor x^2, at
denominator:
lim (2x)/(x^2+1) = lim 2x/x^2*(1 +
1/x^2)
We'll simplify:
lim
2/x*(1 + 1/x^2) = lim (2/x)*lim [1/(1 + 1/x^2)]
Since the
limit of 2/x approaches to zero, if x approaches to - infinite and the limit of 1/x^2
approaches to zero, if x approaches to - infinite, we'll
get:
lim (2/x)*lim [1/(1 + 1/x^2)] = 0*1/(1+0) =
0
The requested limit of the difference f(x)
- x, if x approaches to -infinite is lim [f(x) - x] =
0.
