Limits at Infinity

Overview

What happens to a function as x grows without bound? Limits at infinity describe end behavior and horizontal asymptotes.

Key Concepts

1

Horizontal asymptote at y = L when lim_{x→∞} f(x) = L

2

Rational functions: compare degrees of numerator and denominator

3

1/x → 0 as x → ∞
