Informal Definition of an Infinite Limit ) f x = + means x a if you plug in numbers closer and closer to a (on either side of a but not a itself!) into the function, the outputs will get bigger and bigger without bound. 2) f x = + means x a if you plug in numbers closer and closer to a but less than a into the function, the outputs will get bigger and bigger without bound. 3) f x = + means + x a If you plug in numbers closer and closer to a but greater than a into the function, the outputs will get bigger and bigger without bound.

Infinite Limits Notes: When the it is of the form nonzero, the answer for the 0 it will either be +,, or DNE. Q: How can you tell which one? A: Think about making a table and consider the sign of the outputs. ) If the outputs are always positive (eventually), the answer will be + 2) If the outputs are always negative (eventually), the answer will be 3) Otherwise the answer will be DNE

Infinite Limits Notes: In this class, if a one-sided it is of the form nonzero the answer for the it will either be + or (not DNE). The only time we ll see DNE is if the left and right hand its are different. If a it is + or, this doesn t mean that the it exists. The it doesn t exist because if a it exists, it must be a number. But by saying that a it is + or, you are explaining HOW it doesn t exist. But if a it is + or, do not write that the it DNE, just know that it doesn t exist. 0,

Infinite Limits Notes: Think of a it of the form nonzero 0 like this: When you divide (a nonzero number) by a really small number, you get a really big number (+ or )

Definition of a Vertical Asymptotes Def: The line x = a is a vertical asymptote of the function f if x a f x =, f x = +, x a f x = or f x = + x a + x a +

Vertical Asymptotes Steps in finding vertical asymptotes Find the points (a) of discontinuity of f Calculate f x and f x x a x a + If either of these answers are + or, then the line x = a is a vertical asymptote. Otherwise, the line x = a is not a vertical asymptote.

Definition of a Limit at Infinity / Horizontal Asymptotes Let L be a real number and f be a function. ) f x = L means x if you plug in bigger and bigger (positive) numbers into the function, the outputs will get closer and closer to L. 2) If f x = L, then the line y = L is called a x horizontal asymptote of f.

Definition of a Limit at Infinity/ 3) f x = L means x Horizontal Asymptotes if you plug in smaller and smaller (or bigger and bigger negative) numbers into the function, the outputs will get closer and closer to L. 4) If f x = L, then the line y = L is called a x horizontal asymptote of f.

Definition of a Limit at Infinity/ Horizontal Asymptotes Steps in finding the horizontal asymptotes of a function Find f x. If this it exists and equals the y x number L, then the line = L is a horizontal asymptote of the function f. Find f x. If this it exists and equals the y x number R, then the line = R is a horizontal asymptote of the function f.

Definition of a Limit at Infinity/ Horizontal Asymptotes Notes: A function can have 0,, or 2 horizontal asymptotes Rational expressions can have 0 or horizontal asymptotes, but not 2 (as you ll see shortly) When finding the horizontal asymptotes of algebraic expressions, be careful with your algebra.

Result: ) If r > 0 is a rational number, then x x r = 0 2) If r > 0 is a rational number such that is defined for all x, then x x r = 0 x r

Result on Horizontal Asymptotes of Rational Expressions If the degree top < degree bottom, the graph only has one horizontal asymptote. The horizontal asymptote is y = 0 (i.e. the x-axis) If the degree top = degree bottom, the graph only has one horizontal asymptote. The horizontal asymptote is lead coefficient of top y = lead coefficient of bottom If the degree top > degree bottom, the graph has no horizontal asymptote
