    MHB Determing when f(x) and g(x) are in theta of h(x)

    If f(x) is in theta of h(x) and g(x) is in theta of h(x), then is f(x)+g(x) in theta of h(x)? My initial thoughts on this are yes since the addition of the two functions shouldn't impact the value of the largest degree in both functions, as they would if they were multiplied, but I'm wondering...

    MHB Growth of Functions - Big Theta

    If f(x) if big-theta of g(x), is it also always the case then that g(x) is big-theta of f(x)?

    MHB Simplifying Limit Problem - L'Hôpital and Algebra

    I have the following limit problem: $$\Large\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{x^{\frac{5}{3}}}{e^{2x}}$$ I have reduced it to the following using L'Hôpital's rule once and basic algebra: $$\Large\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}\frac{5}{2e^{2x}3x^{\frac{-2}{3}}}$$ I can tell that the limit is 0, but...
