Example Question #11 : Limits And Asymptotes
Let and be positive integers. Determine the following limit:
,
given that .
We note first we have a fractional function here that we can write:
with,
,.
We know that n>m, this means that
and
. This means that
Example Question #11 : Limits And Asymptotes
Find the following limit given that and are positive integers such that :
We need to know that:
,
We also know that from the properties of the exponentials that:
.
Now we need to note that since n<m, we have n-m<0
and therefore:
.
This means that :
.
Example Question #463 : Calculus Ii
Find the following limit:
Recall that for all real numbers we have:
, from which we deduce that:
.
We know that:
.
Therefore:
.
Simplifying the above expression gives:
Example Question #464 : Calculus Ii
Consider . What is the limit as approaches zero from the left?
There is no limit.
For the function , there is an asymptote at .
The graph approaches to positive infinity as approaches zero from the right side of the graph, and negative infinity as approaches zero from the left.
Therefore, the limit of from the left approaches to .
Example Question #12 : Limits And Asymptotes
Find the horizontal asymptote for .
There is no horizontal asymptote / the asymptote is undefined.
When finding horizontal asymptotes, there are 3 conditions / rules to follow.
1) if the leading terms of the numerator and denominator are of the same degree, then the HA is equal to the ratio of the coefficients of the leading terms
2) if the leading term of the denominator is of a higher degree than the leading term of the numerator, then the HA is
3) if the leading term of the numerator is of a higher degree than the leading term of the denominator, then there is no horizontal asymptote (or it is undefined)
This question falls into condition 1, and therefore the horizontal asymptote is .
Example Question #16 : Limits And Asymptotes
Find the horizontal asymptote of .
There is no horizontal asymptote / the asymptote is undefined.
When finding horizontal asymptotes, there are 3 conditions / rules to follow.
1) if the leading terms of the numerator and denominator are of the same degree, then the HA is equal to the ratio of the coefficients of the leading terms
2) if the leading term of the denominator is of a higher degree than the leading term of the numerator, then the HA is
3) if the leading term of the numerator is of a higher degree than the leading term of the denominator, then there is no horizontal asymptote (or it is undefined)
This question falls into condition 2, and therefore the horizontal asymptote is .

This question falls into condition 3, and therefore there is no horizontal asymptote / the asymptote is undefined.
Example Question #471 : Limits
Given the equation, , what is ?
Does not exist.
The denominator is not valid and does not exist at . There is an asymptote at . However, the question asked for the limit when the graph is approaching from the right side.
Following the curve of the graph of , the range will approach negative infinity when we follow the graph from the right end of .
Therefore, the answer is:
Example Question #474 : Limits
Determine the following limit.
Does not exist
The easiest way to determine this limit is to reduce tangent to its component parts.
As x approaches from the left, the numerator approaches while the denominator approaches , meaning that the limit is positive infinity.
Therefore,
Example Question #13 : Limits And Asymptotes
Where does the function have a vertical asymptote?
The denominator equals zero only where .
