Question 1 3/3 pts

A function is said to have a horizontal asymptote if either the limit at infinity exists or the limit at
negative infinity exists.

Show that each of the following functions has a horizontal asymptote by calculating the given limit.

− 10x
lim   = −5  

x→ ∞ 4 + 2x

3x − 2
lim   = 0  

3
x→ − ∞ x + 14x − 14

x − 13x − 9 1
lim   = − 13  

x→ ∞ 2
15 − 13x

√x2 + 3x 1
lim   = − 14  

x→ ∞ 4 − 14x
