etc.) and calculus.  in fact limits provide the theoretic background on which the main tool of calculus, <strong>the derivative<\/strong>, is built.<\/p>\n<p>so it&#8217;s no surprise that limits show up on both the ab and bc versions of the ap calculus exam.<\/p>\n<p>we won&#8217;t take time in this short article to review the formal definition of limit.  instead, you can take a look at a number

height=\"43\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11907\" \/><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>this one is easier than it appears.  because the variable is heading toward infinity, all we have to do is a <strong><em>highest-order term<\/em><\/strong> analysis.  now since the highest order term on top ( 3<em>x<\/em><sup>2<\/sup> ) has lower degree than the one on the bottom ( <em>x<\/em><sup>3<\/sup> ), the limit must be 0.\n<\/li>\n<li>again this is a limit as <em>x<\/em> &rarr; &infin;, so use highest-order term analysis.  but this time, the top has a higher degree than the bottom.  isolate the highest degree terms on top and bottom:\n<p>( <em>x<\/em><sup>7<\/sup> ) \/ ( <em>x<\/em><sup>5<\/sup> ) = <em>x<\/em><sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>therefore, as <em>x<\/em> &rarr; &infin;, our function behaves like <em>x<\/em><sup>2<\/sup>.  so in the limit, the values simply grow without bound.  the limit is &infin;.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>rounding out this trio of related examples, we have another limit in which <em>x<\/em> approaches one of the two infinities.  using highest-order term analysis this time, we see that the degree of the top is the same as the degree of the bottom.  let&#8217;s simplify.\n<p>( 7<em>x<\/em><sup>4<\/sup> ) \/ ( 5<em>x<\/em><sup>4<\/sup> ) = 7\/5<\/p>\n<p>this implies that as <em>x<\/em> &rarr; -&infin;, the function values get closer to the constant 7\/5.  that&#8217;s our limiting value!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>notice that plugging in <em>x<\/em> = 2 results in <em>nonzero<\/em>\/<em>zero<\/em>, so we know the answer will be infinite.\n<p>  when <em>x<\/em> is close to 2, but to the right of it, the top will be negative while the bottom is positive.  therefore, the limit is -&infin;.\n<\/li>\n<li>absolute values must be treated with care.  when <em>x<\/em> is less than -1, the quantity (<em>x<\/em> + 1) is negative. so you must switch the sign to get rid of the absolute value bars.\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
