We are asked to find the limit of a vector-valued function as $t$ approaches infinity. The vector-valued function is given by: $\lim_{t \to \infty} (\frac{t^2+1}{3t^2-2} \hat{i} + \frac{1}{t} \hat{j} + \frac{1}{t^2+2} \hat{k})$

1. Problem Description

We are asked to find the limit of a vector-valued function as tt approaches infinity. The vector-valued function is given by:
limt(t2+13t22i^+1tj^+1t2+2k^)\lim_{t \to \infty} (\frac{t^2+1}{3t^2-2} \hat{i} + \frac{1}{t} \hat{j} + \frac{1}{t^2+2} \hat{k})

2. Solution Steps

To find the limit of the vector-valued function, we need to find the limit of each component separately.
First, let's find the limit of the i^\hat{i} component:
limtt2+13t22\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{t^2+1}{3t^2-2}
To evaluate this limit, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the highest power of tt, which is t2t^2:
limtt2t2+1t23t2t22t2=limt1+1t232t2\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{\frac{t^2}{t^2}+\frac{1}{t^2}}{\frac{3t^2}{t^2}-\frac{2}{t^2}} = \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{1+\frac{1}{t^2}}{3-\frac{2}{t^2}}
As tt \to \infty, 1t20\frac{1}{t^2} \to 0 and 2t20\frac{2}{t^2} \to 0.
Therefore, limt1+1t232t2=1+030=13\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{1+\frac{1}{t^2}}{3-\frac{2}{t^2}} = \frac{1+0}{3-0} = \frac{1}{3}.
Next, let's find the limit of the j^\hat{j} component:
limt1t=0\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{1}{t} = 0.
Finally, let's find the limit of the k^\hat{k} component:
limt1t2+2\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{1}{t^2+2}
As tt \to \infty, t2t^2 \to \infty, and t2+2t^2 + 2 \to \infty.
Therefore, limt1t2+2=0\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{1}{t^2+2} = 0.
Thus, the limit of the vector-valued function is:
13i^+0j^+0k^=13i^\frac{1}{3} \hat{i} + 0 \hat{j} + 0 \hat{k} = \frac{1}{3} \hat{i}

3. Final Answer

13i^\frac{1}{3} \hat{i}
