Limits at Infinity
Below are a range of examples of limits at x goes to +∞ or -∞. If you need assistanace with the terminology or the general concepts and techniques, follow the relevant links.
1. Compute the limit of the following rational expression as x →∞.
[Hint: The answer will be infinite and the technique will be somewhat different in the past because the relationship between the essential degree of the numerator and denominator.]
[Hint: The numerator has no polynomials or roots of polynomials, so the multiplication- division technique used above is not going to help. However -1 ≤ sin(x) ≤ 1 so another route is possible.]
