2.2 Limits involving Infinity Day 1 Calculus AB
Vocab/Formulas or Ex: or Ex:
Example 1: Determine the horizontal asymptote
Example 2: Find the limit as x approaches ∞. Use the graph and t-table.
Example 3: Using the Properties of Limits on pg. 71, find the limit.
Example 4: Determine the vertical asymptote Example 5: Determine the vertical asymptote NOTE: The graph of a quotient doesn’t always have a vertical asymptote!!! Ex: sinx/x
End Behavior Models For large values of x, use a simple model to mimic the more complicated functions. Ex: is nearly identical to when x approaches a very large #.
Example 4: Show analytically that g(x) would be an end behavior model for f(x)
