Limits at Infinity: These are basically the end behaviors of the graph since we are looking for the limit as x gets
sufficiently large (𝑥 → ∞) or gets sufficiently large negatively (𝑥 → −∞)
• If lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝐿, then there is a horizontal asymptote 𝑦 = 𝐿
𝑥→±∞

1) For the function whose graph is given state the following.

a. lim 𝑓(𝑥) b. lim 𝑓(𝑥)

𝑥→−∞ 𝑥→∞

c. lim 𝑓(𝑥) d. lim− 𝑓(𝑥)

𝑥→0 𝑥→8

e. lim+ 𝑓(𝑥) f. lim + 𝑓(𝑥)

𝑥→8 𝑥→−4

g. equations of horizontal asymptotes

2) Sketch the graph of a function that satisfies all of the given conditions: lim 𝑓(𝑥) = −2, lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 0,
𝑥→−∞ 𝑥→∞
lim− 𝑓(𝑥) = ∞, lim+ 𝑓(𝑥) = −∞, 𝑓(−1) = 1
𝑥→2 𝑥→2
