lim(ln(x+sqrt(x^2+1)), x -> - infinity)
Hello,
how would you solve this limit?
lim(ln(x+sqrt(x^2+1)), x -> - infinity)
I have done these steps lim(ln(1/(1/x) + 1/(1/sqrt(x^2+1)), x= -infinity) = lim(ln((1/sqrt(x^2+1)+1/x) /(1/(x*sqr t(x^2+1))) ), x = -infinity)
now I would use l'Hopital rule. But this don't look nice
Is there some easier method?
thanks

But you gave me an idea.
lim(ln(x+sqrt(x^2+1)), x->-infinity) = lim(ln(x+abs(x)*sqrt(1+1/x
lim(x - x*sqrt(1+1/x^2), x -> - infinity) = lim(x*(1-sqrt(1+1/x^2)), x -> - infinity)) =
lim(ln(x) + ln(1-sqrt(1+1/x^2)), x -> - infinity) = 0 - infinity = -infinity
