Limits of Rational Functions


In Exercises 13–22, find the limit of each rational function (a) as x → ∞ and (b) as x → −∞. Write ∞ or −∞ where appropriate.


f(x) = (2x + 3)/(5x + 7)

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the degrees of the numerator and the denominator. In the function f(x) = (2x + 3)/(5x + 7), both the numerator and the denominator are linear polynomials with degree 1.
For rational functions where the degrees of the numerator and denominator are equal, the limit as x approaches infinity or negative infinity is the ratio of the leading coefficients.
The leading coefficient of the numerator is 2, and the leading coefficient of the denominator is 5.
Calculate the limit as x approaches infinity: lim(x→∞) f(x) = 2/5.
Calculate the limit as x approaches negative infinity: lim(x→−∞) f(x) = 2/5.

Limits

Limits are fundamental in calculus, representing the value that a function approaches as the input approaches a certain point. In the context of rational functions, limits help determine the behavior of the function as the variable approaches infinity or negative infinity, which is crucial for understanding end behavior.

Rational Functions

Rational functions are expressions formed by the ratio of two polynomials. The behavior of these functions as x approaches infinity or negative infinity can often be simplified by comparing the degrees of the numerator and denominator, which influences the limit's value.

End Behavior

End behavior refers to the behavior of a function as the input values become very large or very small. For rational functions, analyzing the leading coefficients and degrees of the numerator and denominator allows us to predict whether the limit will approach a finite number, infinity, or negative infinity.
