What is the limit of #(2x-3)^20(3x+2)^30 / (2x+1)^50# as x goes to infinity?

#(3/2)^30#

Explanation:

#(2x-3)^20 = 2^20x^20 +"terms of degree lass than 20"#

#(3x+2)^30 = 3^30x^30 + "terms of degree lass than 30"#

So the numerator, when we expand, will be

#2^20 3^30 x^50 + "terms of degree less than 50"#

and

#(2x+1)^50 = 2^50x^50 + "terms of degree less than 50"#

The ratio is:

#(2^20 3^30 x^50+ ("terms of degree less than 50"))/(2^50 x^50 + ("terms of degree less than 50"))#

Now, if we multiply by #(1/x^50)/(1/x^50)#, we get:

#(2^20 3^30 + ("terms of degree less than 50")/x^50)/(2^50 + "terms of degree less than 50"/x^50)#

As #xrarroo#, this goes to #(2^20 3^30)/2^50 = 3^30/2^30#
