Topic 1.5 Inifinite Limits & Limits at Infinity

The document discusses infinite limits and limits at infinity. It defines an infinite limit as a function value increasing without bound as the independent variable approaches some value, written with arrows above and below the value. Limits at positive and negative infinity are defined for functions as the independent variable increases or decreases without bound. Examples are provided to illustrate evaluating infinite limits and limits at infinity.
