You can use the concept of a limit to describe end behavior. (1) f(x) is defined at c; in other words, f(c) exists. (2) f(x) approaches the same function value to the left and right of c; in other Left-End Behavior (as x becomes more and more negative): lim f(x) x → -∞ words, lim f x exists. ( ) x → c Right-End Behavior (as x becomes more and more positive): lim f(x) (3) The function value that f(x) approaches from each side of c is f(c); in x → ∞ The f(x) values may approach negative infinity, positive infinity, or a specific value. other words, lim f(x) = f(c). x → c Functions that are not continuous are discontinuous. Graphs that are Example Use the graph of f(x) x3 2 to describe y discontinuous can exhibit infinite discontinuity, jump discontinuity, = + 8 its end behavior. Support the conjecture numerically. or removable discontinuity (also called point discontinuity). 4 3 Answers As x decreases without bound, the y-values also f(x) = x + 2 decrease without bound.

If discontinuous, identify the type of x → -∞ discontinuity as infinite, jump, or removable. As x increases without bound, the y-values increase −8 2x a. f(x) = 2|x| + 3; x = 2 b. f(x) = − ; x = 1 without bound. It appears the limit is positive infinity: x2 - 1 lim f(x) = ∞. (1) f(2) = 7, so f(2) exists. The function is not defined at x = 1 x → ∞ (Lesson1-3) (2) Construct a table that shows values for because it results in a denominator of 0.
