Unit G Summary Question #7 Vercical Asmptote Limit Notation

 


Describe how to write limit notation for vertical asymptotes and what the notation means.

• To right the limit notation for a vertical asymptote, we must first find the equation for the vertical asymptote. To do that, we set the denominator of the function equal to zero. When we find the asymptotes, we can do the limit notation. Let's say x=1. This is ow the notation will look like:
• as x->3 +, f(x)->___
• as x->3 -, f(x)->___
• This notation means as the graph is approaching  towards to the vertical asymptote x=3, the f(x) will either be inf or -inf. And as the graph is going away from the vertical asymptote, the graph will either be inf. or -inf.
