Decide when a limit is infinite and use limits involving infinity to describe asymptotic behavior.

Remarks

Example 1: Find 

Example 2: Where does the following function have asymptote(s)? Explain your answer.
General Information
Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 912
Domain-Subdomain: Calculus
Cluster: Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts
Cluster: Limits and Continuity - Develop an understanding of the concept of limit by estimating limits graphically and numerically and evaluating limits analytically. Extend the idea of a limit to one-sided limits and limits at infinity. Use limits to define and understand the concept of continuity, decide whether a function is continuous at a point, and find types of discontinuities. Understand and apply continuity theorems.

Text Resource

No Limits For Usain:

This informational text resource is intended to support reading in the content area. The text uses the story of Usain Bolt and his quest to reduce his world record in the 100 meter race to raise the question of whether there is a limit to his—or any human's—athleticism. The article uses number series, limits, and convergent and divergent series to prove that, hypothetically at least, a world record will go on reducing beyond any limit. A logistic curve is shown to model the data.
