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

Find the limit: lim(x→-8) of x² - 64x + 8

Answer: -16
