What are Limits at Infinity?
Limits at infinity are just like normal limits.
The difference is that x is approaching infinity instead of a number.
limx→∞
f (x)
This means that x is growing without bounds.
Or that it takes values greater than any number you can come upwith.

The Basic Technique For Solving Limits at Infinity
1. First of all, we find the greatest exponent in our function.
I For example:
2. Then we divide both the numerator and denominator by xn.
