Answer 1

no ideas on any of these?

#1 as x gets huge, f(x) just looks like x^4/x^3

#2 as x gets huge, exponentials outpace any polynomial, so f(x) just looks like 2^x/3^x = (2/3)^x

#3 as x->0, you have 9/0

#4 II only

#5 cot(pi) = 1/tan(pi)

#6 use L'Hospital's Rule to get -sin(x)/1

#7 no trick at all

#8 exponentials outpace polynomials
larger base grows faster

#9 ditto

#10 ditto (I think - here there be typos?)

#11 powers are slower than exponentials.
lower powers are slower than higher powers

#12 logs are even slower than roots

#13 ditto
