CALCULUS NFINITE LIMITS NOTES ASSIGNMENT
Objectives:
■ Determine infinite limits from the left and from the right.
■
Find and sketch the vertical asymptotes of the graph of а function.
lnfinite Limits
Let/ Ье the function given Ьу 3/(х- 2). From Figure 1.39 and the tаЫе, you сап see thatf(x) decreases without bound as
х approaches 2 from the left, and /(х) increases without bound as х approaches 2 from the right.

This behavior is denoted as:
3
lim -Х-+2- Х-2
= -оо
and
3
lim -х-+2+ х-2
= оо
А limit in which /(х) increases or decreases without bound as х approaches с is called an infinite limit.
NOTE: lim f(x) = оо does not mean that the limit exlsts! lt tells you how the limit fails to exist Ьу denoting the
unbounded behavior of f(x) asx approaches с.
Examples: Determine the limit of each .function shown in the graphs below as х approaches 1 from the left and from the
right.
