課後練習題 + 各題解答 (教師用)。

Question 1 Determine all vertical asymptotes of the

graph of given functions.
x3 +2x2 +2x+1
1. f (x) = x3 −1
2 +x+1)
Ans: f (x) = (x+1)(x
(x−1)(x2 +x+1)
= x+1
x−1 .
Since
x+1
lim f (x) = lim = +∞
x→1+ x→1+ x−1
and
x+1
lim f (x) = lim = −∞,
x→1− x→1− x − 1
we see that x = 1 is the vertical asymptote of the
graph of f .
x2 +x−6
2. f (x) = x2 −4
Ans: f (x) = (x+3)(x−2)
(x+2)(x−2) = x+3
x+2 for x ̸= 2.
Since
x+3
lim f (x) = lim = +∞
x→−2+ x→−2+ x+2
and
x+3
lim f (x) = lim = −∞,
x→−2− x+2
x→−2−
we see that x = −2 is the vertical asymptote of
the graph of f .
Question 2 Find the limits.
x2 −3x+2
1. limx→−2+ x2 −4
.
Ans:
x2 − 3x + 2 x−1
lim = lim = −∞.
x→−2+ x2 − 4 x→−2+ x + 2

x2 −3x+2
2. limx→−2− x2 −4
.
Ans:
x2 − 3x + 2 x−1
lim = lim = +∞.
x→−2− x −4
2 x→−2− x + 2

x2 −2x
3. limx→1+ x−1 .
Ans:
x2 − 2x x(x − 2)
lim = lim = −∞.
x→1+ x−1 x→1 + x−1
x2 −2x
4. limx→1− x−1 .
Ans:
x2 − 2x x(x − 2)
lim = lim = +∞.
x→1− x−1 x→1− x − 1
