Limits Involving Infinity

Hello all! It’s Robert here and I’m your scribe for today.

Today’s class was all about Limits Involving Infinity. Finding limits of infinity is all about finding the asymptotes of a graph.

Some things you need to remember when finding limits (finding asymptotes):


  • When the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, there is a horizontal asymptote at y=0.


  • When the degree of the denominator is less than the degree of the numerator, there is no horizontal asymptote.


  • When the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator, you look to the leading coefficients of the term that has the highest exponent on x.


Well here are the slides for today's class. Take a look and see the different steps used in solving the problems.


That's it for today folks. The next scribe will be........Dino!!!
