An infinite limit is a limit that increases beyond all values as our variable approaches the limit value. We write it as:
The neighborhood of the point is the open interval around
centered in
. The open interval
is called the
(delta) neighborhood of the number
. The width of this interval depends on the positive number
, which is usually very small.
is a real value lying on the
-axis. For an infinite limit, it represents the limit beyond which the functional values of
grow as
approaches the value of
.
The limit is infinite if for any value of that we can find such
that when x in
- around the point a, i.e.
,
will be greater than
.
Limit
is infinite if for every there exists a
that holds: if
then follows
Using the limit, we can determine the course of the vertical asymptote in the graph. If so
then the graph of the function has a vertical asymptote in
.
Let's have the function . If applicable:
then the following applies equally:
Let's illustrate graphically (the graphs are symmetrical with respect to the abscissa axis):
