Limits: Factoring & Limits at Infinity — Easy Worksheet 1
Grade 12 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Evaluate each limit. Give fractions in simplest form.
How to solve
If substituting gives 00, factor and cancel the common factor (or multiply by the conjugate for square roots), then substitute. As x → ∞, compare degrees: a bigger denominator degree gives 0, equal degrees give the ratio of the leading coefficients.
Example
