<s>[INST] Improper integral comparison test Having this integral
$$\int_1^{\infty}\frac{3x^2+2x +1}{x^3+6x^2+x+4}$$
In order to do the comparison test at some point it gets like
$$\frac{3x^2+2x +1}{x^3+6x^2+x+4}\geq \frac{1}{4x}$$
How is $\frac{1}{4x}$ found ? It doesnt seem obvious to me.
EDIT
Also how is this found
$$0\leq\frac{3x +1}{\sqrt{x^5+4x^3+5x}}\leq \frac{4}{x^{3/2}}$$
Where does 4 came from here ?Minimum value ? 3x1 +1  ? Why.
 [/INST] For example, and taking into account the fact that for large values $\;x\;$ only the summands with the largest exponent of $\;x\;$ are important (in this sense), we get
$$\frac{3x^2+2x +1}{x^3+6x^2+x+4}\ge\frac{3x^2}{x^3+6x^3+x^3+4x^3}=\frac1{4x}$$
