Limits at infinity for rational functions Limit of a function
horizontal asymptote y = 4
there 3 basic rules evaluating limits @ infinity rational function f(x) = p(x)/q(x): (where p , q polynomials):
if degree of p greater degree of q, limit positive or negative infinity depending on signs of leading coefficients;
if degree of p , q equal, limit leading coefficient of p divided leading coefficient of q;
if degree of p less degree of q, limit 0.
if limit @ infinity exists, represents horizontal asymptote @ y = l. polynomials not have horizontal asymptotes; such asymptotes may occur rational functions.
