Limit to Infinity Properties:

For lim

๐‘ฅโ†’๐‘

Limit Rules:

  • Limit of a Constant: lim

  • Basic Limit: lim

  • Squeeze Theorem: Let ๐‘“, ๐‘” and โ„Ž be functions such that for all ๐‘ฅ โˆˆ [๐‘Ž, ๐‘]

(except possible at the limit point c), ๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) โ‰ค โ„Ž(๐‘ฅ) โ‰ค ๐‘”(๐‘ฅ). Also suppse that

lim

๐‘ฅโ†’๐‘

๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) = lim

๐‘ฅโ†’๐‘

๐‘”(๐‘ฅ) = ๐ฟ, then for any ๐‘, ๐‘Ž โ‰ค ๐‘ โ‰ค ๐‘, lim

  • Lโ€™Hopitalโ€™s Rule : For lim

  • Divergence Criterion: If there exists two sequences, {๐‘ฅ
