Solved example of limits to infinity

$\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac{2x^3-2x^2+x-3}{x^3+2x^2-x+1}\right)$

As a variable goes to infinity, the expression $2x^3-2x^2+x-3$ will behave the same way that it's largest power behaves

$\frac{2x^3}{x^3+2x^2-x+1}$

As a variable goes to infinity, the expression $x^3+2x^2-x+1$ will behave the same way that it's largest power behaves

$\frac{2x^3}{x^3}$

Plug in the value $\infty$ into the limit

$\frac{2\cdot \infty ^3}{\infty ^3}$

Infinity to the power of any positive number is equal to infinity, so $\infty ^3=\infty$

$\frac{2\infty }{\infty ^3}$

Any expression multiplied by infinity tends to infinity

$\frac{\infty }{\infty ^3}$

Infinity to the power of any positive number is equal to infinity, so $\infty ^3=\infty$

$\frac{\infty }{\infty }$

If we directly evaluate the limit $\lim_{x\to \infty }\left(\frac{2x^3-2x^2+x-3}{x^3+2x^2-x+1}\right)$ as $x$ tends to $\infty$, we can see that it gives us an indeterminate form
