Inifinity limit with natural log

In summary, the limit of ln(x^2-1) - ln(2x^2+3) as x approaches infinity is ln(1/2) or -ln(2). This is obtained by taking the limit of the inside part and then taking the natural logarithm.

Homework Statement


Limx--> ∞ Ln(x^2-1) -Ln(2x^2+3)

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


Ln(x^2-1)/(2x^2+3)

Then I divided the top and bottom by x^2 so in the end I got (1/2).

Is this right?

Is this what you did? :

##\lim_{n\rightarrow +\infty} {\ln {(x^2 - 1)} - \ln{(2x^2+3)}}##

## = \lim_{n\rightarrow +\infty} {\ln ({\frac{x^2 - 1}{2x^2+3}})}#### = {\ln {\lim_{n\rightarrow +\infty}(\frac{1 - \frac{1}{x^2}}{2+\frac{3}{x^2}}})}##

You got the limit of the inside part as ##\frac{1}{2}## you need to take its ##\ln## to get the right answer.

Yes that's what I did. So my final answer then should be Ln(1/2) ?

Right, or -ln(2)
