Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. Ari graphs f(x) = (x + 2)/(x − 3). At what x does f have a vertical asymptote?

  2. Bo graphs f(x) = (x − 5)/(x + 1). At what x does f have a vertical asymptote?

  3. Esme graphs f(x) = (x + 4)/(x − 6). At what x does f have a vertical asymptote?

  4. Jun graphs f(x) = (x − 1)/(x + 4). At what x does f have a vertical asymptote?

  5. Kira traces the graph shown toward the asymptote from the right. What is the limit of f(x) as x → 2⁺?

    • 2
    • ∞
    • −∞
  6. Luz traces the graph shown toward the asymptote from the left. What is the limit of f(x) as x → -1⁻?

    • -1
    • ∞
    • −∞
  7. Pia tests f(x) = 3/(x − 2) just right of the asymptote, at x = 2.01. What is f(2.01)?

  8. Ren tests f(x) = 5/(x + 1) just left of the asymptote, at x = -1.01. What is f(-1.01)?

  9. Tala tests f(x) = -2/(x − 4) just right of the asymptote, at x = 4.01. What is f(4.01)?

  10. Zee tests f(x) = -4/(x − 1) just left of the asymptote, at x = 0.99. What is f(0.99)?

About this worksheet

Limits that go to infinity at an asymptote. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find a vertical asymptote and tell a hole from an asymptote.
  • I can decide whether f goes to +∞ or −∞ on each side of an asymptote.
  • I can say when the two-sided limit at an asymptote exists as ∞ or −∞, and when it does not exist.

Standard: none (beyond CCSS)

Words to know

vertical asymptote: A vertical line x = a the graph runs up or down beside.

+∞, −∞: The values grow without bound, upward or downward.

hole: A single missing point where a factor cancelled.

Common mistakes

Used the zero of the top. The top's zero is where the graph crosses the axis; the bottom's zero gives the asymptote.

Read x − 3 = 0 as x = −3. Put the answer back in: the factor should be 0.

Read the curve on the other side of the asymptote. From the left means x a little less than the asymptote's x.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with limits that go to infinity at an asymptote?

Used the zero of the top. The top's zero is where the graph crosses the axis; the bottom's zero gives the asymptote.
