Consider the functions $f(x) = e^{-x}$ and $g(x) = \sin(x)$ defined for $x \in [0, 2\pi]$. These functions model, respectively, the decay of a signal and a periodic oscillation. We are interested in analysing the combined behaviour of these two functions.
b. Analyse the behaviour of $j(x) = f(x) + g(x)$ as $x$ approaches infinity. Discuss whether $j(x)$ approaches a specific value, oscillates, or diverges. Justify your answer.
