Are you consistently losing points on Limits to Infinity because of focusing on the wrong highest-degree terms? If so, you're making the exact same error as 80% of your class.
Did you make this error?
- The Trap: focusing on the wrong highest-degree terms
- The Proof: Read this scenario: For lim (x->∞) of (3x^2 + 5x) / (2x^2 - 1), you only care about the highest powers: 3x^2 / 2x^2. The x's cancel, leaving 3/2.
If your logic doesn't match the proof above, you've fallen for the trap. Erase it and start over.
