Examples of infinity in the following topics:
-
- Limits involving infinity can be formally defined using a slight variation of the $(\varepsilon, \delta)$-definition.
- Limits involving infinity can be formally defined using a slight variation of the $(\varepsilon, \delta)$-definition.
- If the degree of $p$ is greater than the degree of $q$, then the limit is positive or negative infinity depending on the signs of the leading coefficients;
- If the limit at infinity exists, it represents a horizontal asymptote at $y = L$.
- Therefore, the limit of this function at infinity exists.

- As $\frac {x^3}{4}$ tends to be much larger (in absolute value) than $\frac {3x^2}{4} - \frac {3x}{2} - 2$ when $x$ tends to positive or negative infinity, we see that $y$ goes, like $\frac {x^3}{4}$, to negative infinity when $x$ goes to negative infinity, and to positive infinity when $x$ goes to positive infinity.
- Functions of even degree will go to positive or negative infinity (depending on the sign of the coefficient of the highest-degree term) if $x$ goes to infinity.
- Functions of odd degree will go to negative or positive infinity when $x$ goes to negative infinity and vice versa, again depending on the highest-degree term coefficient.
- Conversely, if we know the zeros of a polynomial, and we know how it behaves near infinity, we can already make a nice sketch of the graph.
- We know whether it is positive or negative at infinity.
-
- Analysis of a polynomial reveals whether the function will increase or decrease as $x$ approaches positive and negative infinity.
- It is possible to determine the end behavior (i.e. the behavior when $x$ tends to infinity) of a polynomial function without using a graph.
- The properties of the leading term and leading coefficient indicate whether $f(x)$ increases or decreases continually as the $x$-values approach positive and negative infinity:
- Thus $g(x)$approaches negative infinity as $x$ approaches either positive or negative infinity; the graph inclines both to the left and to the right as seen in the next figure:
- Thus, $a_nx^n$ (and thus $f(x)$, in the neighborhood of infinity) goes up (as $x$ approaches infinity) if $a^n$ is positive and down if $a_n$ is negative.
-
- That is, the curve approaches infinity as $x$ approaches infinity.
- That is, the curve approaches zero as $x$ approaches negative infinity making the $x$-axis is a horizontal asymptote of the function.
- The
curve approaches infinity zero as approaches infinity.
- That is, the curve approaches zero as $x$ approaches negative
infinity making the $x$-axis a horizontal asymptote of the function.
- The graph of this function crosses the $y$-axis at $(0,1)$ and increases as $x$ approaches infinity.
-
- Look at the graph from left to right on the $x$-axis; the first part of the curve is decreasing from infinity to the $x$-value of $-1$ and then the curve increases.
- The curve increases on the interval from $-1$ to $1$ and then it decreases again to infinity.
- The function $f(x)=x^3−12x$ is increasing on the $x$-axis from negative infinity to $-2$ and also from $2$ to positive infinity.

-
- Note that the 0th percentile falls at negative infinity and the 100th percentile at positive infinity.
-
- Therefore, the limit of this function at infinity exists.
- Therefore, the limit of this function at infinity exists.
-
- The limit of $f(x)= \frac{-1}{(x+4)} + 4$ as $x$ goes to infinity can be segmented down into two parts: the limit of $\frac{−1}{(x+4)}$ and the limit of $4$.
- Therefore, the limit of $f(x)$ as $x$ goes to infinity is $4$.
