Question: top-left: lim
x\to\infty
center: \frac{4^x + 9^x}{x}
top-right: \frac{1}{x}
overall expression: \lim_{x\to\infty} \left(\frac{4^x + 9^x}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{x}}
1. **State the problem:**
Find the limit
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left(\frac{4^x + 9^x}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{x}}$$
2. **Analyze the expression inside the limit:**
As $x \to \infty$, compare $4^x$ and $9^x$. Since $9^x$ grows faster than $4^x$, $9^x$ dominates $4^x$.
So,
$$4^x + 9^x \approx 9^x$$
3. **Simplify the expression inside the parentheses:**
$$\frac{4^x + 9^x}{x} \approx \frac{9^x}{x}$$
4. **Rewrite the limit using this approximation:**
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left(\frac{9^x}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{x}}$$
5. **Rewrite the expression inside the power:**
$$\left(\frac{9^x}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{x}} = \frac{(9^x)^{\frac{1}{x}}}{x^{\frac{1}{x}}} = \frac{9}{x^{\frac{1}{x}}}$$
6. **Evaluate the limit of the denominator:**
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} x^{\frac{1}{x}} = \lim_{x \to \infty} e^{\frac{\ln x}{x}}$$
Since $\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\ln x}{x} = 0$, we have
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} x^{\frac{1}{x}} = e^0 = 1$$
7. **Therefore, the limit becomes:**
$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{9}{x^{\frac{1}{x}}} = \frac{9}{1} = 9$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{9}$$
