WolframAlpha: A program that solves math problems

Hi everyone! I picked up this math software called WolframAlpha a few days ago to help with my assignments. It’s pretty impressive—you just plug in the problem, and it solves everything step-by-step, showing you the full logic behind the answer. 🙂
I’ve run into a bit of a snag, though. Does anyone know how to input a limit? I can't seem to find the right syntax... it really should have an option for it. If anyone here has used this program before or happens to know the trick for limits, please let me know! Thanks in advance 🙂

Give it a shot with WolframAlpha.

$\lim_{x \to \infty} (\text{expression under the limit})$

If it actually works, give Uncle Google a quick thanks—then toss that software straight into the trash.

The software isn't trash at all—you just actually need to know English to make it work.

I haven't actually used it myself, but judging by what I saw on the website for the company behind this WolframAlpha tool, it looks like exactly the kind of software high schoolers would use en masse to breeze through their homework. And then there’s that pop-up you get when you try to close the tab—that little window where it politely asks if you're *really* sure you want to leave, or if maybe you'd like to buy some product to snag the software for free... honestly, it doesn't scream "professionalism" to me. It feels more like something you'd stumble upon on a sketchy adult site.😁

I wasn't really talking about how it looks—that’s secondary—but more about what it actually does. It’s honestly pretty solid for high schoolers or college students who aren't exactly math wizards; they can definitely wrap their heads around algebra and calculus just by grinding through problems in this program... provided, of course, they actually have the drive to learn. 🙂
