Lesson: Limits at Infinity Mathematics • Higher Education

Students will be able to

• understand that the limit of can take some finite value as approaches positive or negative infinity,
• conceptually relate limits at infinity to horizontal asymptotes,
• understand that the laws of limits still apply for limits at positive or negative infinity,
• understand how to manipulate and evaluate limits using the fact that the limit of a reciprocal function as approaches positive or negative infinity is equal to 0,
• find the limit of a function as approaches positive or negative infinity.
