The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the constants \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) such that: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \frac{x^2 + 1}{x + 1} - \alpha x - \beta \right) = 0 \] ### Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the limit First, we rewrite the expression inside the limit: \[ \frac{x^2 + 1}{x + 1} - \alpha x - \beta \] To combine the fractions, we need a common denominator, which is \(x + 1\): \[ = \frac{x^2 + 1 - \alpha x (x + 1) - \beta (x + 1)}{x + 1} \] ### Step 2: Expand the numerator Now, we expand the numerator: \[ = x^2 + 1 - \alpha x^2 - \alpha x - \beta x - \beta \] Combining like terms gives us: \[ = (1 - \alpha)x^2 + (1 - \alpha - \beta)x + (1 - \beta) \] ### Step 3: Set the limit condition For the limit to approach 0 as \(x\) approaches infinity, the degree of the numerator must be less than the degree of the denominator. The denominator is of degree 1, so we need the coefficient of \(x^2\) in the numerator to be 0: \[ 1 - \alpha = 0 \implies \alpha = 1 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(\beta\) Now, substituting \(\alpha = 1\) into the linear term of the numerator: \[ 1 - \alpha - \beta = 0 \implies 1 - 1 - \beta = 0 \implies -\beta = 0 \implies \beta = 0 \] ### Step 5: Check the constant term Finally, we check the constant term: \[ 1 - \beta = 0 \implies 1 - 0 = 1 \quad \text{(This does not affect the limit)} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the values of \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are: \[ \alpha = 1, \quad \beta = 0 \]
