How do you find lim (5x+6)/(x^2-4) as x->oo? Calculus Limits Limits at Infinity and Horizontal Asymptotes 1 Answer Narad T. Jan 26, 2017 The answer is =0^- and 0^+ Explanation: lim_(x->-oo)(5x+6)/(x^2-4)=lim_(x->-oo)(x(5+6/x))/(x^2(1-4/x^2)) lim_(x->-oo)6/x=0 lim_(x->-oo)4/x^2=0 lim_(x->-oo)(x(5+6/x))/(x^2(1-4/x^2))=lim_(x->-oo)5/x=0^- lim_(x->+oo)(5x+6)/(x^2-4)=lim_(x->+oo)(x(5+6/x))/(x^2(1-4/x^2)) lim_(x->+oo)(x(5+6/x))/(x^2(1-4/x^2))=lim_(x->+oo)5/x=0^+ Answer link Related questions What kind of functions have horizontal asymptotes?
