NameDate

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

  1. Ari wants the limit of √(9x² + 1)/(2x + 3) as x → ∞. What is it?

  2. Bo wants the limit of √(16x² + 1)/(3x + 1) as x → ∞. What is it?

  3. Esme wants the limit of √(25x² + 1)/(4x − 7) as x → ∞. What is it?

  4. Jun wants the limit of √(36x² + 1)/(5x + 2) as x → ∞. What is it?

  5. A hot drink cools as T(t) = 18 + 50e^(−0.2t) °C after t minutes. Milo asks where T heads in the long run. What is the limit as t → ∞?

  6. A hot drink cools as T(t) = 25 + 45e^(−0.08t) °C after t minutes. Noah asks where T heads in the long run. What is the limit as t → ∞?

  7. Making club T-shirts costs $200 to set up plus $6 each, so the average cost is A(n) = (200 + 6n)/n dollars. Pia asks about huge orders. What is the limit as n → ∞?

  8. Making class mugs costs $150 to set up plus $4 each, so the average cost is A(n) = (150 + 4n)/n dollars. Ren asks about huge orders. What is the limit as n → ∞?

  9. Making team posters costs $90 to set up plus $3 each, so the average cost is A(n) = (90 + 3n)/n dollars. Tala asks about huge orders. What is the limit as n → ∞?

  10. Making school caps costs $120 to set up plus $5 each, so the average cost is A(n) = (120 + 5n)/n dollars. Zee asks about huge orders. What is the limit as n → ∞?

About this worksheet

Limits at infinity and end behavior. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find a limit at infinity by comparing the highest powers.
  • I can tell when f settles, goes to 0, or grows without bound as x → ∞ or x → −∞.
  • I can find the long-run value of a real model.

Standard: none (beyond CCSS)

Words to know

x → ∞: x grows without bound to the right.

horizontal asymptote: A level line y = L the graph settles onto far out.

degree: The highest power of x in a polynomial.

long run: What a model does as time grows without bound.

Common mistakes

Used the constant terms. For huge x, the highest powers take over and the constants hardly matter.

Put the bottom's leading number on top.

Worked out f(1) instead of looking at huge x.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with limits at infinity and end behavior?

Used the constant terms. For huge x, the highest powers take over and the constants hardly matter.
