Chapter 1: Q 7. (page 86)

If $\lim_{x 鈫� - 鈭�} f (x) = 鈭�$ , $\lim_{x 鈫� 鈭�} f (x) = 3$ , and $\lim_{x 鈫� - 1^{+}} f (x) = 鈭�$ , what can you say about any horizontal and vertical asymptotes of $f$ ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The horizontal asymptote at $y = 3$ and the vertical asymptote at $x = 1$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

It is given that $\lim_{x 鈫� - 鈭�} f (x) = 鈭�$ , $\lim_{x 鈫� 鈭�} f (x) = 3$ and $\lim_{x 鈫� 1^{+}} f (x) = 鈭�$ .

Step 2. Find any horizontal and vertical asymptotes of f.

From the given expression $\lim_{x 鈫� 鈭�} f (x) = 3$ , for any value of $x$ , the functional value is $3$ i.e., $f (x) = 3$ is a horizontal line.

So, $f$ has a horizontal asymptote at $y = 3$ .

Again, for the expression role="math" localid="1648312358902" $\lim_{x 鈫� 1^{+}} f (x) = 鈭�$ at $x = 1$ the function have a vertical line.

So, $f$ has a vertical asymptote at $x = 1$ .

Step 3. Simplified answer.

The horizontal asymptote at $y = 3$ and the vertical asymptote at $x = 1$ .
