Limits - End Behavior and Asymptotes
Understanding the behavior of functions as they approach infinity or certain points is a fundamental aspect of calculus and mathematical analysis. When exploring the limits of functions, particularly their end behavior and asymptotes, we delve into the ways in which functions grow or diminish indefinitely. End behavior reveals the long-term trends of functions, while asymptotes define the lines that functions approach but never quite reach. These concepts serve as essential tools in comprehending the behavior of functions in various mathematical contexts, from graphing curves to analyzing the convergence of series.
