Limit of the function/ -4*x

Limit of the function -4*x

You have entered [src]

 lim (-4*x)
x->oo

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- 4 x\right)

Limit(-4*x, x, oo, dir='-')

Detail solution

Let's take the limit

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- 4 x\right)

Let's divide numerator and denominator by x:

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- 4 x\right)

\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\left(-1\right) \frac{1}{4} \frac{1}{x}}

Do Replacement

u = \frac{1}{x}

then

\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{\left(-1\right) \frac{1}{4} \frac{1}{x}} = \lim_{u \to 0^+}\left(- \frac{4}{u}\right)

- \frac{4}{0} = -\infty

The final answer:

\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(- 4 x\right) = -\infty

Lopital's rule

There is no sense to apply Lopital's rule to this function since there is no indeterminateness of 0/0 or oo/oo type
