    INFINITE LIMITS
    We say that the rational function,

    N(x)
    f(x) =
    D(x)

    is not defined if for any number a, D(a) = 0 and N(a) ≠ 0. In such cases we write the limit of this
    function as:
    Lim f(x) = +∞ Increases without bound
    x→ ±a

    Lim f(x) = −∞ Decreases without bound


    x→ ±a

    The following theorems are helpful in dealing with such limit:


    1
    Theorem 1 If n is an EVEN POSITIVE integer, then Lim = +∞
    x→ a (𝑥 − 𝑎)𝑛
    1
    Lim+ = +∞
    x→ a (x − a)n
    Theorem 2 If n is an ODD POSITIVE integer, then 1
    Lim− = −∞
    x→ a (x − a)n

    1
    Lim+ = +∞
    x→ 0 𝑥𝑛
    Theorem 3 If n is a POSITIVE integer, then
    1 −∞ if n is 𝐎𝐃𝐃
    Lim ={
    x→ 0− xn +∞ if n is 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍

    EXAMPLES
    Evaluate the limit of the following:

    Problem 1
    1
    Lim+
    x→ 5 (x − 5)3

    1 Since n = 3 (odd integer), then apply Theorem 2


    Lim+ = +∞ 1
    x→ 5 (x − 5)3 Lim = +∞
    x→ a+ (x − a)n

    Problem 2
    10
    Lim−
    x→ 3 (x − 3)4

    10 Since n = 4 (even integer), then apply Theorem 1


    Lim− = +∞ 1
    x→ 3 (x − 3)4 Lim = +∞
    x→ a (x − a)n

    Problem 3
    8
    Lim−
    x→ 1 (x − 1)5

    8 Since n = 5 (odd integer), then apply Theorem 2


    Lim− = −∞ 1
    x→ 1 (x − 1)5 Lim = −∞
    x→ a− (x − a)n

    Problem 4
    3
    Lim+ 7
    x→ 0 x

    1
    = Lim+ 3 ∗ Rewrite the given function
    x→ 0 x7
    1
    = Lim+ 3 ∗ Lim+ Apply Product Rule and Power Rule of Limit laws
    x→ 0 x→ 0 x7
    Since n = 7 (odd integer), then apply Theorem 3
    = (3)(+∞) 1
    Lim+ n = +∞
    x→ 0 x

    = +∞ Final Answer
