3 Determine infinite limits from the left and from the right. Find and sketch the vertical asymptotes of the graph of a function. Objectives

4 Infinite Limits

5 Let f be the function given by 3/(x – 2). From Figure 1.39 and the table, you can see that f(x) decreases without bound as x approaches 2 from the left, and f(x) increases without bound as x approaches 2 from the right. Infinite Limits Figure 1.39

6 This behavior is denoted as Infinite Limits

7 A limit in which f(x) increases or decreases without bound as x approaches c is called an infinite limit. Figure 1.40 Infinite Limits

8 Example 1 – Determining Infinite Limits from a Graph Determine the limit of each function shown in Figure 1.41 as x approaches 1 from the left and from the right. Figure 1.41

9 Example 1(a) – Solution When x approaches 1 from the left or the right, (x – 1) 2 is a small positive number. Thus, the quotient 1/(x – 1) 2 is a large positive number and f(x) approaches infinity from each side of x = 1. So, you can conclude that Figure 1.41(a) confirms this analysis. Figure 1.41(a)

10 When x approaches 1 from the left, x – 1 is a small negative number. Thus, the quotient –1/(x – 1) is a large positive number and f(x) approaches infinity from left of x = 1. So, you can conclude that When x approaches 1 from the right, x – 1 is a small positive number. cont’d Example 1(b) – Solution

11 Thus, the quotient –1/(x – 1) is a large negative number and f(x) approaches negative infinity from the right of x = 1. So, you can conclude that Figure 1.41(b) confirms this analysis. Example 1(b) – Solution cont’d Figure 1.41(b)

12 Vertical Asymptotes

13 Vertical Asymptotes If it were possible to extend the graphs in Figure 1.41 toward positive and negative infinity, you would see that each graph becomes arbitrarily close to the vertical line x = 1. This line is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f. Figure 1.41

14 Vertical Asymptotes

15 Example 2 – Finding Vertical Asymptotes Determine all vertical asymptotes of the graph of each function.

16 Example 2(a) – Solution When x = –1, the denominator of is 0 and the numerator is not 0. So, by Theorem 1.14, you can conclude that x = –1 is a vertical asymptote, as shown in Figure 1.42(a). Figure 1.42(a).

17 By factoring the denominator as you can see that the denominator is 0 at x = –1 and x = 1. Moreover, because the numerator is not 0 at these two points, you can apply Theorem 1.14 to conclude that the graph of f has two vertical asymptotes, as shown in figure 1.42(b). cont’d Example 2(b) – Solution Figure 1.42(b)

18 By writing the cotangent function in the form you can apply Theorem 1.14 to conclude that vertical asymptotes occur at all values of x such that sin x = 0 and cos x ≠ 0, as shown in Figure 1.42(c). So, the graph of this function has infinitely many vertical asymptotes. These asymptotes occur at x = nπ, where n is an integer. cont’d Figure 1.42(c). Example 2(c) – Solution

19 Vertical Asymptotes

20 Example 5 – Determining Limits a.Because you can write Property 1, Theorem 1.15 b. Because, you can write Property 3, Theorem 1.15

21 Example 5 – Determining Limits c. Because you can write Property 2, Theorem 1.15 cont’d
