IMPORTANT NOTE: The statement does NOT mean the limit exists! “On the contrary, it tells HOW the limit FAILS to exist.”

Definition of a Vertical Asymptote If f(x) approaches infinity or negative infinity as x approaches c from the left or right, then x = c is a vertical asymptote of f.

Digging deeper… Infinity is a very special idea. We know we can't reach it, but we can still try to work out the value of functions that have infinity in them.

Question: What is the value of 1/∞ ? Answer: We don't know! Maybe we could say that 1/∞ = 0,... but if we divide 1 into infinite pieces and they end up 0 each, what happened to the 1? In fact 1/∞ is known to be undefined.

But We Can Approach It! x1/x , ,

The limit of 1/x as x approaches Infinity is 0 Furthermore:

Limits at Infinity Divide through by the highest power of x in the denominator Simplify Substitute 0 for 1/x n 1.

Example Divide by 2.

Asymptotes of a Rational Functions (Limits at Infinity) Let f be the rational function, N(x) and D(x) have no common factors. Vertical Asymptotes occur at the zeros of D(x), V.A. : Set D(x) =0 Horizontal Asymptote 1. If, the graph approaches the x-axis. H.A. : y=0 2. If n = d the graph has a horizontal asymptote of H.A. : y = the ratio of the leading coefficients. 3. If, the graph has no horizontal asymptote.

Vertical Asymptotes occur at the zeros of D(x), V.A. : Set D(x) =0 Horizontal Asymptote 1. If the graph approaches the x-axis. H.A. : y=0 2. If n = d the graph has a horizontal asymptote of H.A. : y = the ratio of the leading coefficients. 3. If, the graph has no horizontal asymptote. Oh, so limits is how we got our rules for horizontal asymptotes !
