Limits to infinity Finding Constant Number Hi I have a question regarding of limits to infinity please help which I need to find the constant number for a and b. Please help! Thank You!
The question states the user to find the following constants a and b:
$$\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac {x^2 + 1}{x+1}-ax-b\right)=0$$
Thank You!!!
 A: Hint: Note that by polynomial division, or otherwise,
$$\frac{x^2+1}{x+1}=x-1+\frac{2}{x+1}.$$
A: Hint: Write everything as one fraction (with common denominator). The term $x^2$ should vanish from the numerator, otherwise the whole expression would diverge to infinity. Moreover the term $x$ should also vanish from the numerator, otherwise the whole expression would converge to a certain constant. This will give two equations for the two unknowns $a$ and $b$.
A: $$\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac {x^2 + 1}{x+1}-ax-b\right)=0$$
$$\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac {x^2 + 1-ax^2-ax-bx-b}{x+1}\right)=0$$
$$\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac {(1-a)x^2 + -(a+b)x+(1-b)}{x+1}\right)=0$$
A: Combining yields
$$\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x^2-ax^2-(a+b)x+1-b}{x+1}\to 0$$
which holds when the numerator is any constant. What $a,b$ values can you choose so the $x$ terms in the numerator cancel out?
We want to find $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $(1−a)x^2−(a+b)x+(1−b)=0x^2+0x+c$.
A: Hint:
Rewrite $\frac{x^2 + 1}{x+1}-ax-b$ as 
$$
\frac{x^2 + 1-ax^2-ax-bx-b}{x+1} = \frac{(1-a)x^2 -(a+b)x + 1-b}{x+1}
$$
and argue that in order for the limit when $x\to\infty$ to be $0$, both the coefficients of $x^2$ and $x$ in the numerator must be $0$ (why?).
This will give you $a$ and $b$.
