But what happened to the 1 ,after dividing x²/x² in the numerator aren't we supposed to get 1

Answer

You are right that x2x2\frac{x^2}{x^2} becomes 1.

In Step 3, the original expression was lim⁡x→∞2+5x+xsin⁡xx2−3x\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{2 + 5x + x \sin x}{x^2 - 3x}.

We divided every term in both the numerator and the denominator by x2x^2:

  • Numerator:

    2x2+5xx2+xsin⁡xx2=2x2+5x+sin⁡xx\frac{2}{x^2} + \frac{5x}{x^2} + \frac{x \sin x}{x^2} = \frac{2}{x^2} + \frac{5}{x} + \frac{\sin x}{x}

    As x→∞x \to \infty, each of these terms goes to 0. So, the numerator approaches 0+0+0=00+0+0 = 0.

  • Denominator:

    x2x2−3xx2=1−3x\frac{x^2}{x^2} - \frac{3x}{x^2} = 1 - \frac{3}{x}

    As x→∞x \to \infty, x2x2\frac{x^2}{x^2} becomes 1, and 3x\frac{3}{x} goes to 0. So, the denominator approaches 1−0=11-0 = 1.

Therefore, the limit becomes 01=0\frac{0}{1} = 0. The 1 from x2x2\frac{x^2}{x^2} is indeed in the denominator, as shown in the calculation.
