What is the definition of a negative infinity limit?

In summary, an infinite limit describes the behavior of a function as the input approaches a certain value, resulting in an output that becomes increasingly large or reaches infinity. This is expressed using the limit notation and can be either one-sided or two-sided. Common functions with infinite limits include linear, rational, exponential, and trigonometric functions. In real-life, this concept can be applied in predicting population behavior, stock values, speed calculations, optimization problems, and understanding system behavior.

I have the following definition:
$$\lim_{x\to p^+}f(x)=+\infty\iff \forall\,\,\varepsilon>0,\,\exists\,\,\delta>0,\,\,\text{with}\,\,p+\delta< b: p< x < p+\delta \implies f(x) > \varepsilon$$
From this, how can I get the definition of
$$\lim_{x\to p^-}=-\infty? $$

We have $\lim\limits_{x\to p^{-}} f(x) = -\infty$ if to every $\epsilon > 0$ there corresponds a $\delta > 0$ such that for all $x$, $p - \delta < x < p$ implies $f(x) < -\epsilon$.
 

FAQ: What is the definition of a negative infinity limit?

What is the definition of an infinite limit?

An infinite limit is a type of limit in calculus where the value of a function approaches positive or negative infinity as the input approaches a certain value or as the input approaches infinity.

How is an infinite limit denoted?

An infinite limit is denoted by the symbol "∞" or "-∞" depending on whether the limit approaches positive or negative infinity.

What is the difference between a finite limit and an infinite limit?

A finite limit is a limit where the value of the function approaches a finite number as the input approaches a certain value. An infinite limit is a limit where the value of the function approaches positive or negative infinity as the input approaches a certain value or as the input approaches infinity.

What are the two types of infinite limits?

The two types of infinite limits are positive infinite limits and negative infinite limits. A positive infinite limit is when the function approaches positive infinity as the input approaches a certain value or as the input approaches infinity. A negative infinite limit is when the function approaches negative infinity as the input approaches a certain value or as the input approaches negative infinity.

How do you determine if a limit is an infinite limit?

To determine if a limit is an infinite limit, you can graph the function and see if it approaches positive or negative infinity as the input approaches a certain value or as the input approaches infinity. You can also use algebraic methods, such as factoring and simplifying, to determine the limit of the function as the input approaches a certain value or as the input approaches infinity.
