To graph a function f defined on an unbounded domain, we also need to know the behavior of f as x→±∞ . In this section, we define limits at infinity and show how these limits affect the graph of a function. At the end of this section, we outline a strategy for graphing an arbitrary function f.

In this case, we say the line y=x−1 is a slant asymptote of y=g(x).

It explains how to apply the rule by differentiating the numerator and denominator until a determinate form is reached. The section also covers various indeterminate forms and provides examples to illustrate the use of L'Hôpital's Rule in solving complex limits.

Therefore, to determine the concavity of f, divide the interval (−∞,∞) into the smaller intervals (−∞,0) and (0,∞), and choose test points x=−1 and x=1 to determine the concavity of f on each of these smaller intervals as shown in the following table.
