Given: \(\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty}\left[\frac{x^{4} \sin \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)+x^{2}}{\left(1+|x|^{3}\right)}\right]\).
We know, when \(x\) tends to \(-\infty, \frac{1}{x}\) tends to \(0\).
We also know, we can write \(x^{4}\) as \(\frac{x^{3}}{\frac{1}{x}} \ldots \) (i) and \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1\ldots\)(ii).
Now, let the value of the limit be \(\mathrm{L}\).
So, \(L=\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty}\left[\frac{x^{4} \sin \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)+x^{2}}{\left(1+|x|^{3}\right)}\right]\)
Now, from (i), we can write \(L=\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty}\left[\frac{\frac{x^{3}}{\frac{1}{x}} \sin \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)+x^{2}}{\left(1+|x|^{3}\right)}\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow L=\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty}\left[\frac{x^{3} \frac{\sin \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{\frac{1}{x}}+x^{2}}{\left(1+|x|^{3}\right)}\right]\)
Now, from (ii), we know \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1\)
So, we can write \(L=\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty}\left[\frac{x^{3}+x^{2}}{\left(1+|x|^{3}\right)}\right]\)
Now, as \(x \rightarrow-\infty\), the value of \(x\) is negative.
So, by the definition of modulus function, we can say \(|x|=-x\).
\(\Rightarrow|x|^{3}=-x^{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow 1+|x|^{3}=1-x^{3}\)
So, we get the limit as \(L=\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty}\left[\frac{x^{3}+x^{2}}{\left(1-x^{3}\right)}\right]\)
Now, the function consists of polynomials.
So, we will take the variable with the highest power, i.e., \(x^3\), common from the numerator as well as the denominator.
So, we get:
\(L=\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty}\left[\frac{x^{3}\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x^{3}\left(\frac{1}{x^{3}}-1\right)}\right]\)
\(\Rightarrow L=\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty}\left[\frac{\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)}{\left(\frac{1}{x^{3}}-1\right)}\right]\)
Substituting \(x=-\infty\) in the limit, we get:
\(L=\frac{1+\frac{1}{-\infty}}{\frac{1}{-\infty^{3}}-1}\)
\(\Rightarrow L=\frac{1+0}{0-1}\)
\(\Rightarrow L=-1\)
