Example Questions

Example Question #11 : Limits

Limitplot

$\begin{align*}&\text{Which of the values most likely represents the value of f(x) at}\\&x=\infty\end{align*}$

Possible Answers:

$\infty$

$\text{Nonexistent.}$

$\frac{19}{15}$

Correct answer:

$\text{Nonexistent.}$

Explanation:

$\begin{align*}&\text{Although actually observing a function at an infinite value}\\&\text{of x is impossible, we can often determine via observation if}\\&\text{the function approaches a certain limit. Looking at the values}\\&\text{the function approaches as the absolute value of x increases}\\&\text{gives a clue. Things to look out for are if the function continuously}\\&\text{climbs/decreases, flattens, or has unchecked oscillatory behavior.}\\&\text{If the function continuously climbs/decreases, it likely has}\\&\text{a limit that approaches positive/negative infinity. If it flattens,}\\&\text{the limit is a real number. If it oscillates without control,}\\&\text{the limit does not exist.}\\&\text{The limit of }f(\infty)\text{ is most likely }\text{Nonexistent.}\end{align*}$
