$$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { Explain in your own words the meaning of each of the }} \\ {\text { following. }} \\ {\text { (a) } \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=5 \quad \text { (b) } \lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} f(x)=3}\end{array} $$
Step 1
This means that as the value of $x$ gets larger and larger (approaches infinity), the value of the function $f(x)$ gets closer and closer to 5. Show more…
