Math Problem Statement

Use the graph of f shown here to find the limit as x approaches infinity. If necessary, state that the limit does not exist.

Solution

To find the limit of the function f(x)f(x) as xx \to \infty from the graph, observe the behavior of the graph as xx increases without bound.

Looking at the graph, it appears that the function approaches a specific value as xx gets very large. In this case, the graph appears to approach y=2y = 2, as the function stabilizes at this value for large xx.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. limxf(x)=2\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = 2.

Here are five related questions you might find useful:

  1. How do you determine the limit from a graph for a function as xx \to \infty?
  2. What happens if the function doesn't approach a specific value but diverges?
  3. How do you evaluate limits for other types of functions (polynomials, rational functions)?
  4. What is the significance of the vertical asymptote in a limit as xx \to \infty?
  5. Can the limit as xx \to \infty be negative or zero?

Tip: When analyzing the limit at infinity from a graph, focus on the trend of the function as it moves to the right. Does it stabilize, grow without bound, or oscillate?
