Section 2.6 Limits at Infinity

1. Sketch the graph of an example of a function that satisfies all  of the given conditions.

        \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow -3} f(x)= - \infty \), \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow 4^+} f(x)=  \infty \), \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow 4^-} f(x)= - \infty \)

       \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} f(x)= 1 \), \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)= - 2 \).



Solution



2. For the function whose graph is given below state the following.

           (a) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) \),         (b) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} f(x) \),

           (c) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow 2} f(x) \),                (d) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \rightarrow -2} f(x) \),
