Infinite Limits Lesson 2.5
Previous Mention of Discontinuity A function can be discontinuous at a point The function goes to infinity at one or both sides of the point, known as a pole Example Y=Enter this function into the Y= screen of your calculator Use standard zoom
A Special Discontinuity Using standard-zoom ♦Y Note results of tables (♦Y)
Definition of Infinite Limits Given function f defined for all reals on open interval containing c (except possibly x = c)
Definition of Infinite Limits M
Vertical Asymptotes When f(x) approaches infinity as x → c Note some calculators draw false asymptote Vertical asymptotes generated by rational functions when g(x) = 0 c
Properties of Infinite Limits Given Then Sum/Difference Product Quotient
Try It Out Find vertical asymptote Find the limit Determine the one sided limit
