Unit G Summary Question # 2 Limit Notation of Horizontal Asymptotes

2. Describe what limit notation for horizontal asymptotes actually means.

       When trying to find the limit notation of a horizontal asymptote we need to first know where it touches on the graph. The Horizontal Slope can touch the graph in the middle, but not way to the left or way to the right. This way to the left and way to the right are represented in the limit notation. The limit notation is As x--> +∞, f(x)-->#value and As x--> -∞, f(x) --> # value. These notations mean that the graph can go to the right, which is the positive notation, and it can go to the left, which is the negative notation.
