Some rules of limits
The great thing about limits is that the limit of something complicated can be done as the limit of all the pieces.

Taking the limit of Equations
Steps to Solve:
Divide each term by the highest overall power you see in the problem. Then evaluate each of the pieces. Then take the limit of each term.

Anyone figure out the short cut?That’s right. You look for the overall high power.
Overall High Power in top = _______________
Overall High Power in bottom = ____________
High Power in top and bottom are the same

Examples of Graphs
So, you can see that the graphs have these vertical and horizontal lines that act as boundary lines. These are called Asymptotes. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So what is an oblique?
Did you notice that all of the graphs that had vertical asymptotes also had limits? That is, the only functions that didn’t have limits had holes.
What if you have no limit to the function, but as well have a vertical asymptote?
Such as, Lets go graphing! 2x 2x 3x
![Page 22: 3-2 Limits Limit as x approaches a number. Just what is a limit? A limit is what the ___________________________ __________________________________________.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0845/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

What happened?
Well the vertical asymptote stayed, but the graph didn’t level. There was a diagonal line that acted as a boundary line. This diagonal line is the __________________

So, lets figure out how to find the OA.

Finding OB Asymptote

To find the OA, ___________________ into the numerator and ignore the remainder. That ______ is the oblique asymptote. Then graph the function the same way as if there was a VA.

There are 5 main rules we will use to determine possible rational roots. There are others that you can read about in the book, but these 5 are the basic ones you narrow down the possibilities.
Remember: when you divide synthetically, if the remainder = 0 _______________________. If the remainder ≠0 then the number is not a root and never will be.

Rule #1
The only possible real rational roots are
Where
pq
p ___________________
q ________________________

Rule #2
If the signs of all the terms in the polynomial are +, ____________________________

Think about this, using
2P(x) 2x 7x 3

Rule #3
If the signs of the terms of the polynomial alternate 1 to 1 (that is + – + – + –) then __________________________________
___________________________________
If a term is missing, it is ok to assign it a + or – value to make it fit this rule.

Rule #4
If you add all the coefficients and get 0, then 1 is a root. Otherwise 1 is not a root (and never will be a root ever).
This is a good one. Essentially if it works, you have your start point.

Rule #5
Change the signs of the odd powered coefficients and then add. If you get 0, then -1 is a root. Otherwise, -1 is not a root.
Sometimes this one isn’t worth the effort.

Why these rules?
You will have a list of possibilities (and maybe a definite) with which to start synthetically dividing.
Remember – the goal of the problem is to find all zeroes (or factor). A zero is something whose factor divides evenly into a function. Therefore, synthetically you want to get a remainder of 0.
