Be careful! This explanation is relevant to Radical expressions containing exponents that are odd multiples of 2 (for example x^6, x^10, x^14 , etc.). If the highest exponent of the argument of the radical was an even multiple of 2 (for example x^4, x^8, etc.) , the negative will be irrelevant and the limit will be positive. I will provide another video to explain this.
@@odgarig8601 Yes, 1 is odd, so 2*1 is odd multiple of 2 (x^2), 2*2 is even multiple of 2 (x^4), and 2*3 is again odd (x^6) etc. But this is the squared version already. The original was x^3, and here the exponent needs to be odd for the video to be correct and the negative sign to be added. It only works for odd multiples of 2 because when you turn the x^3 into a square root of a square, you actually need absolute value signs around x^3 to do that. And since because x^3 is negative when x approaches negative infinity the |x^3| is -x^3 , and therefore x^3 = -|x^3|, which then you can square and square root, having x^3 = -|x^3| = -sqrt((x^3)^2) = -sqrt(x^6). But if you have even exponent (which when squared will be even multiple of 2), like x^4, it doesn't introduce the negative sign, because x^4 is still positive when x approaches negative infinity. Then you can just take the absolute value, and square and square root: x^4 = |x^4| = sqrt((x^4)^2) = sqrt(x^8).
Limits at infinity can be a hard subject to grasp, but you do an amazing job of explaining it. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video and even caught myself smiling with you. Thank you for loving what you do and sharing it with the world!
5:30 As 𝑥 approaches −∞, 𝑥³ also approaches −∞. This means that in this scenario, 𝑥³ is negative. But when we square it, it becomes positive, so we have to write 𝑥³ = −√(𝑥⁶) Thus, lim 𝑥→−∞ (√(9𝑥⁶ − 𝑥) ∕ 𝑥³) ∕ ((𝑥³ + 6) ∕ 𝑥³) = lim 𝑥→−∞ (√(9𝑥⁶ − 𝑥) ∕ (−√(𝑥⁶)) ∕ ((𝑥³ + 6) ∕ 𝑥³) As we "push" √(𝑥⁶) into the other square root, as well as break up the rational expression in the denominator, we get lim 𝑥→−∞ −√(9 − 1 ∕ 𝑥⁵) ∕ (1 + 6 ∕ 𝑥³) Then substituting −∞ for 𝑥, we get −√(9 − 0) ∕ (1 + 0), which simplifies to −3.
I have been taking online calculus for the past month and have understood absolutely nothing, but stumbling across this video was the best thing that's ever happened to me this whole semester! Doing a similar problem along with your video for once made me feel like I could solve a problem without resorting to an online calculator. You've got a natural teaching talent, keep on inspiring people!
Student from Canada here. Thank you so much for this. You're a lifesaver. You put it in terms I could understand and now it all makes sense to me. Thank you so much.
I just found this channel and I swear that the moment I saw this guy's face I was like: omg that's a good person! We really do need nice people like him around....
Wow. I was so confused when my prof randomly made the numerator negative, and after a poor explanation I felt lost. Same with the dividing in to the bracket. You explained it clearly in 8 minutes. Thank you.
The first video I find that addresses this type of limit and it is absolutely amazing, never seen someone explain math so well and with such positive energy
Thank you so much!! Very easy to understand and follow along, and I love your passion/attitude when it comes to math! It makes me feel like I can always work my way through a problem to find an answer, rather than get frustrated and give up on it. Thank you!
Thank you for doing this, you don't know how much it means to people that are trying to their best to study and have a full time job, We really appreciate it.
Math major student from Philippines here, thank you so much for your thorough discussion, it is way easier to comprehend. I love to learn more about your teaching esp. in calculus and I am hopeful that you will help me. Ty
This is || absolutely the best math explanation video I have ever watched, I don't understand why it isn't always taught in common language like this, you have earned my subscription.
thanks! this video was super helpful in helping me find out that you need to keep the - sign when you cancel x inside the square root! thank you so much, I was stuck before finding this video
Thank you, I use videos to help me understand my math homework outside of class, I watched multiple videos before this that wasn't helping me understand how to do the problems. Glad I found yours!
When it comes to limits--especially before doing any derivatives--this sort of problem and the ones with one-sided limits require more than just plugging in values and getting a number. It requires some thinking on the student's part. For these sorts of problems, particularly the one worked out in this video, I would always suggest to do a quick check before starting. And that would be to check the sign of the leading term as x gets very large--in this case, negatively large--to see what the sign of the answer should be.
5:38 I have a calculus final exam tomorrow! My professor indeed says that I can't forget to write the following in between my steps for solving the problems: "Limit" sign "Integral" sign with a "dx" or "d" with a variable that I am integrating/taking the antiderivative of "+ C" at the end of my answer with the antiderivative. If I'm taking the antiderivative of "1 / x", then it needs to be "ln(|nx|) + C)" -- I don't think that he told me that I should write the "n" in the natural log, but I will just in case, and the number/variable "n" represents another constant/number. And the reason why the antiderivative of "1/x" is "ln(|nx|) + C" is because if we take the derivative of "ln(x)" we will get 1 / x, but if we take the derivative of "ln(nx)" while "n" is another number, then we will also get "1 / x", but either the chain rule, or using the "log of product = sum of logs" rule, knowing that we will get "d/dx (ln(nx)) = d/dx (ln(n) + ln(x)) = d/dx (ln(x)) = 1 / x". I just want to write the answer as "ln(|nx|)" to be on the safe side!
u are so amazing honestly its ur first video I watched and I learned so much like the absolute value I used to square -2 and I forget the negative sign
I am so guilty about this, because I always forgot that there are 2 signs to consider in finding suareroots, it is either + or - , thank you so much sir ❤❤❤
Wow that was crystal clear. Not only that you have a really great charisma and that makes whatever you teach more credible to students. Thank you and good day :)
Wonderful video. Great help. But I believe the real reason we forget the negative sign with square roots is because our basic education doesn't include it and it only appears in middle school or sometimes not until high school
The last part you said, actually hit me. Thank you! You don't know how much it means to me to hear that, maybe someday, I can finally get that -3! T^T.
Thank you for uploading this video. It helped me better understand limits at negative infinity of rational functions involving radicals. Sometimes I just hate negatives in solving lol.
In sign - Numerator is positive and denominator is negative so result is negative. In magnitude - Numerator tends to 3 x^3 and denominator to x^3 so result tends to 3. Collectively, from sign and magnitude, the result tends to -3.
hi sir! thank you so much for this amazing video. I finally understand how to solve problems like this now. And you also answered all the questions I had in my head which is so crazy. Officially subscribed, thanks again for your help!

Hey boy, where are you from?
So x^2 is an odd multiple? since its 2x1 and 1 is odd.

You are a really good teacher. Most teacher skim over the small bits that can lead students astray, but you cover them
indeed
wow, i amazed at how you teach. You are one of the clearest teachers i have ever met. You explain every step into detail. Thank you so much

The most iconic thing is, taking about the main part at the beginning. It will save others time a lot. Thank you
I like iconic levels.

As 𝑥 approaches −∞,
𝑥³ also approaches −∞.
This means that in this scenario, 𝑥³ is negative.
But when we square it, it becomes positive, so we have to write 𝑥³ = −√(𝑥⁶)
Thus, lim 𝑥→−∞ (√(9𝑥⁶ − 𝑥) ∕ 𝑥³) ∕ ((𝑥³ + 6) ∕ 𝑥³)
= lim 𝑥→−∞ (√(9𝑥⁶ − 𝑥) ∕ (−√(𝑥⁶)) ∕ ((𝑥³ + 6) ∕ 𝑥³)
As we "push" √(𝑥⁶) into the other square root, as well as break up the rational expression in the denominator, we get
lim 𝑥→−∞ −√(9 − 1 ∕ 𝑥⁵) ∕ (1 + 6 ∕ 𝑥³)
Then substituting −∞ for 𝑥, we get
−√(9 − 0) ∕ (1 + 0), which simplifies to −3.
Thank you!! I feel like I am in a face-to-face class during this video ^^
