### Limits approaching infinity
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As $x$ approaches infinity, $\lim_{x \to ∞} f(x)$ has only three possible answers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By dividing both sides of a fraction by the $x$ variable of the highest degree, if $m$ is the degree of the denominator and $n$ is the degree of the numerator:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If $m > n$, $\lim_{x \to ∞} f(x) = 0$
|
||||||
|
- If $m < n$, $\lim_{x \to ∞} f(x) = ± ∞$
|
||||||
|
- The sign of infinity can be found by evaluating the limit
|
||||||
|
- If $m = n$, $\lim_{x \to ∞} f(x) = \frac{a}{b}$, where $a$ and $b$ are the coefficients of the degree of the numerator and the denominator, respectively.
