What is the limit of arctan(e^x) as x goes to infinity? Calculus Limits Limits at Infinity and Horizontal Asymptotes 1 Answer Konstantinos Michailidis Sep 25, 2015 Refer to explanation Explanation: We know that lim_{x to +infty} e^x=+infty and lim_{x to +infty} arctan x=pi/2 from the stuy of e^x and of arctan x. So, as x to infty, e^x to infty so that, letting t=e^x we have lim_{x to infty} arctan(e^x)=lim_{t to infty} arctan(t)=\pi/2.
