1 Limits at Infinity If a function f has a domain that is unbounded, that is, one of the endpoints of its domain is ±, we can determine the long term behavior of the function using a it at infinity. Definition (Limits at Infinity) We say that f(x) = x L if f(x) can be made arbitrarily close to L by making x sufficiently, and we say that x f(x) = M if f(x) can be made arbitrarily close to M by making x sufficiently Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 2/29 Horizontal Asymptotes Horizontal Asymptotes If then the graph of f has a, and if f(x) = x L f(x) = M x then the graph of f has a horizontal asymptote If f has an unbounded domain, but f(x) does not approach a finite value as x goes to ±, there are two possibilities: the it at infinity the it at infinity In either case, the graph of f does not have a horizontal asymptote.

2 Limit of a Reciprocal Power Limit of a Reciprocal Power If r > 0, then and x x if r is a positive integer or is a fraction that results is an even root. 1 x r 1 x r Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 4/29 The End Behavior of a Polynomial Limits at Infinity for Polynomials For the n th degree polynomial function p(x) = a n x n + a n 1 x n a 2 x 2 + a 1 x + a 0 the the end behavior is given by the it at infinity p(x) which is always infinite and whose sign depends only on the sign of a n and on whether n even or odd. Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 5/29
3 Evaluating the Limit at Infinity of a Polynomial The at infinity of a polynomial is ( p(x) = an x n + a n 1 x n a 2 x 2 ) + a 1 x + a 0 Using the the it at infinity of a reciprocal power, gives p(x) = All terms except the first Thus, p(x) Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 6/29 Evaluating the Limit at Infinity of a Polynomial Now, if n > 0, then n even and n odd Thus, x a nx n + a n 1 x n a 2 x 2 + a 1 x + a 0 = { + if an > 0 if a n < 0 and a nx n + a n 1 x n a 2 x 2 + a 1 x + a 0 = x { + if n even & an > 0 or n odd & a n < 0 if n even & a n < 0 or n odd & a n > 0 Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 7/29
4 Example 17 Limit of Rational Function Evaluate the it x 4x 3 3x 2 + 2x 4 5x 3 + 2x 2 4x + 3 Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 8/29 Solution: Example 17 To make use of the its just discussed, the expression must involve terms with reciprocal powers. Thus divide the numerator and denominator by the highest power of x in the denominator, here. This gives x 4x 3 3x 2 + 2x 4 5x 3 + 2x 2 4x + 3 = Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 9/29
5 Solution: Example 17 continue An identical argument for x shows that x 4x 3 3x 2 + 2x 4 Hence the graph of the rational function 5x 3 + 2x 2 4x + 3 = 4 5 r(x) = 4x3 3x 2 + 2x 4 5x 3 + 2x 2 4x + 3 has a horizontal asymptote along the Horizontal Asymptotes of a Rational Function In general, for a rational function in which the degrees of polynomials in the numerator and denominator are equal, the it at ± equals, and the function has a horizontal asymptote along a line Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 10/29 Example 18 More Rational Functions Evaluate the its (a) 4x 3 3x 2 + 2x 4 5x 4 + 2x 2 4x + 3 (b) 4x 4 3x 2 + 2x 4 5x 3 + 2x 2 4x + 3 Solution: (a) 4x 3 3x 2 + 2x 4 5x 4 + 2x 2 4x + 3 (b) 4x 4 3x 2 + 2x 4 5x 3 + 2x 2 4x + 3 Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 11/29
6 Limits at Infinity for the Exponential Function The graph of the natural exponential function f(x) = e x looks like this. The graph of the function g(x) = e x is obtained by reflecting across the. It looks like this. Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 12/29 Limits at Infinity for the Exponential Function Limits at Infinity for the Exponential Function From the graphs just shown and x ex and x ex x e x and x e x Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 13/29
7 Example 19 Limits of Exponential Functions Evaluate the its (a) x 2e x + 1 e x + 2 Solution: (a) Since x ex = 0 we have x 2e x + 1 e x + 2 (b) x 2e x + 1 e x + 2 (b) Now we use x e x = 0. To do the we first multiply numerator and denominator by to give x 2e x + 1 e x + 2 Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 14/29 Solution: Example 19 continued The graph of the function f(x) = 2ex + 1 e x has a horizontal asymptotes + 2 along and. Its graph looks like this. Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 15/29
8 Horizontal Asymptotes for Functions Involving the Exponential Function Horizontal Asymptotes for Exponential Functions For a function involving an exponential function the its at + and can be different. This means that such functions can have a different horizontal asymptote on the right (x ) and on the left (x ). Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 16/29 Function Dominance When comparing functions, an important question is: which function grows faster as x gets large? This question can be answered using its at infinity. Function Dominance For two function f and g, if x f(x) g(x) = 0 we say that g dominates f as x gets large and positive. Equivalently, we have g(x) x f(x) = Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 17/29
9 Example 20 Exponential and Power Functions Consider the family of functions f(x) = x n e x = x e x for x 0 where the parameter n is a positive integer. Based on these graphs what can you conclude about the dominance relationship between the exponential function e x and the power function x n? Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 18/29 Solution: Example 20 From the graphs it appears that for any integer n 1 we have since for each of the graphs the Thus, we conclude that x x n e x In other words, Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 19/29
10 Vertical Asymptotes and Infinite Limits Where Are Vertical Asymptotes? Where the function has an infinite it. There may be no vertical asymptotes, or many. A rational function has a vertical asymptote for any x value where the denominator is zero but the numerator is non-zero. Some functions have vertical asymptotes without having an obvious denominator to make equal to zero. For example, tan x has vertical asymptotes at any odd multiple of π 2. Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 20/29 Horizontal Asymptotes and Limits at Infinity What Are the Horizontal Asymptotes? To identify any horizontal asymptotes for a function determine the its at infinity. There can be at most two different horizontal asymptotes: on the right (x ) and on the left (x ). A rational function can have only one horizontal asymptote. If the degree of the denominator and numerator are equal, there is a non-zero horizontal asymptote. If the degree of the denominator is greater than the degree of the numerator, there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0. If the degree of the denominator is less than the degree of the numerator, there is no horizontal asymptote. Functions involving exponential functions may have different horizontal asymptotes on the left and the right. Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 21/29
11 Example 21 Investigating Asymptotes For each function below, determine any vertical and horizontal asymptotes and sketch the graph of the function. For the vertical asymptote(s) determine the behavior of the function on either side of the asymptote by calculating the appropriate one-sided infinite its. (a) f(x) = 1 x + 1 (b) g(x) = x x (c) h(x) = (d) F(x) = (e) G(x) = (f) H(x) = x x 2 x 3 Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 22/29 Solution: Example 21(a) For f(x) = 1 x + 1 there is a vertical asymptote where The behavior on either side of the vertical asymptote at is given by Further, 1 x + 1 Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 23/29
12 Solution: Example 21(b) For g(x) = x x + 1 again there is a vertical asymptote at Now the behavior on either side of the vertical asymptote at is given by Further, x x + 1 Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 24/29 Solution: Example 21(c) For h(x) = 1 there is still a vertical asymptote at the behavior on either side of the vertical asymptote at is given by Now Further, 1 Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 25/29
13 Solution: Example 21(d) For F(x) = x there is still a vertical asymptote at the behavior on either side of the vertical asymptote at is given by Now Further, x Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 26/29 Solution: Example 21(e) For G(x) = x 2 there is still a vertical asymptote at the behavior on either side of the vertical asymptote at is given by Now Further, x 2 Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 27/29
14 Solution: Example 21(f) For H(x) = x 3 there is still a vertical asymptote at the behavior on either side of the vertical asymptote at is given by Now Further, x 3 Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 28/29 Solution: Example 21(f) continued Note that x 3 Now 3x + 2 so we say that as x ± the function H(x) behaves like Clint Lee Math 112 Lecture 5: Limits at Infinity and Asymptotes 29/29
