Hello all:
I want to compute the limit of formula x/exp(x) when x approaches positive
infinite.
I use the following procedure to prove that it is 0.
Is this method correct?
1> 0 <= x/exp(x) <= x/x^2 = 1/x when x approaches positive infinite.
2> 0 <= x/exp(x) <= 1/x = 0 when x approaches positive infinite.
3> therefore, x/exp(x) ==> 0
thank you
-Daniel
