concept of infinite limits through solving
infinite limits. Essential Questions:
 What is limits at infinity?
 What is the difference between limits at
Essential Questions:
infinity and infinite limits?
 What is infinite limits?
 How to evaluate limits at infinity?
 How to evaluate infinite limits?
 What is the importance of studying infinite
limits?
 - The teacher will post a picture of infinity symbol
and call students to answer some questions
about it.
Motivation
 Questions:
1. What do you call this?
2. How do you define infinity?
- The teacher will tell the class that the lesson for
today is connected to the concept of infinity,
which is infinite limits.
- The teacher will tell the class that if the function
values decrease or increase without bounds as
the independent variable gets closer and closer
to a certain fixed number, then the function has
an infinite limit.
- The teacher will tell the class that f increases
without bound as x approaches a, written as:
lim 𝑓(𝑥) = +∞
𝑥→𝑎
Instruction/
Delivery - The teacher will tell the class that f decreases
without bound as x approaches a, written as:
lim 𝑓(𝑥) = −∞
𝑥→𝑎
- The teacher will tell the class to take note that
here, the function has an infinite limit if the limit
of the denominator is 0 and the limit of the
numerator is not 0.
- The teacher will present and explain the
theorems associated with the topic.
Theorems#1
Let r be any positive integer, then:
- The teacher will call students to answer the
following questions as part of the review.
 Questions:
1. What is infinite limits?
2. What are the theorems involves in infinite
limits?
- The teacher will tell the class that in the previous - The teacher will tell the class to get 1 whole

limits, the values of the function decrease or
increase without bound as the independent
variable approaches a certain fixed number. This
time, the independent variable either decreases
or increases without bound.
- The teacher will tell the class that if the limit of f
as x increases without bound is L, which is
written as:
lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝐿
𝑥→+∞
- The teacher will tell the class to note that the
values of f(x) get closer and closer to one and
only one number L as x becomes larger and
larger.
- The teacher will tell the class that if the limit of f
as x decreases without bound is L, which is
written as:
lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝐿
𝑥→−∞
- The teacher will tell the class to note that the
values of f(x) get closer and closer to one and
only one number L as x becomes smaller and
smaller.
