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?
