3x^3 -2x^2-147x+98=(ax-c)(bx+d)(bx-d). Find a, b, c, d if a, b, c, d are positive integers

(bx+d)(bx-d)=b^2x^2-d^2(ax-c)(bx+d)(bx-d)=(ax-c)(b^2x^2-d^2)=ab^2x^3-ad^2x-b^2cx^2+cd^2ab^2=3b^2c=2ad^2=147-cd^2=98From equations:a=3/b^2c=2/b^2d^2=49b^2Since a, b, c, d are positive integers, b must be 1...

How do I find the limit as x-->infinity of (4x^2+5)/(x^2-6)?

Here you will deal with all problems of the same type in a very similar way.
Intuition first tells us that we can’t really find the limit, as both the top (4x2+5), and the bottom (x2<...
