  1. Ari wants the limit of (3x² + 1)/(2x² − 5) as x → ∞. What is it?

  2. Esme wants the limit of (-6x² + 2)/(4x² + 9) as x → ∞. What is it?

  3. Jun wants the limit of (8x² + 6)/(3x² − 1) as x → ∞. What is it?

  4. Kira studies f(x) = 4 + 6/x for huge x. What is the limit of f(x) as x → ∞?

  5. Luz studies f(x) = -2 + 5/x² for huge x. What is the limit of f(x) as x → ∞?

  6. Milo studies f(x) = 7 − 3/x for huge x. What is the limit of f(x) as x → ∞?

  7. Noah studies f(x) = 1 + 9/x³ for huge x. What is the limit of f(x) as x → ∞?

  8. x = 10 gives 4.807692; x = 100 gives 4.998001; x = 1000 gives 4.99998; x = 10000 gives 5. Ren fills in the table shown for bigger and bigger x. What limit does f(x) head to as x → ∞?

  9. x = 10 gives -0.333333; x = 100 gives -0.482587; x = 1000 gives -0.498251; x = 10000 gives -0.499825. Tala fills in the table shown for bigger and bigger x. What limit does f(x) head to as x → ∞?

  10. x = 10 gives 1.8; x = 100 gives 1.755; x = 1000 gives 1.7505; x = 10000 gives 1.75005. Zee fills in the table shown for bigger and bigger x. What limit does f(x) head to as x → ∞?

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.
