The correct Answer is:
To solve the limit problem, we need to analyze the expression given: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \frac{x^2 + 1}{x + 1} - ax - b \right) = \infty \] ### Step 1: Simplify the expression First, we simplify the fraction: \[ \frac{x^2 + 1}{x + 1} = \frac{x^2}{x + 1} + \frac{1}{x + 1} \] As \(x\) approaches infinity, the term \(\frac{1}{x + 1}\) approaches 0. Therefore, we focus on the leading term: \[ \frac{x^2 + 1}{x + 1} \sim \frac{x^2}{x} = x \quad \text{as } x \to \infty \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the limit expression Now we can rewrite the limit: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( x - ax - b \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( (1 - a)x - b \right) \] ### Step 3: Determine conditions for the limit to be infinity For the limit to equal infinity, the coefficient of \(x\) must be positive: \[ 1 - a > 0 \implies a < 1 \] ### Step 4: Analyze the constant term The term \(-b\) does not affect the limit as \(x\) approaches infinity, so \(b\) can be any real number. ### Conclusion Thus, we conclude: - \(a < 1\) - \(b\) can be any real number. ### Final Answer \[ \text{a} < 1, \quad \text{b} \in \mathbb{R} \]
