limit as x approaches-infinity of x+1/x

x \to - \infty lim (x + \frac{1}{x})

- \infty

Solution steps

x \to - \infty lim (x + \frac{1}{x})

x \to a lim [f (x) \pm g (x)] = x \to a lim f (x) \pm x \to a lim g (x)

With the exception of indeterminate form

= x \to - \infty lim (x) + x \to - \infty lim (\frac{1}{x})

x \to - \infty lim (x) = - \infty

x \to - \infty lim (\frac{1}{x}) = 0

= - \infty + 0

Apply Infinity Property:

- \infty + c = - \infty

= - \infty

What is the limit as x approaches-infinity of x+1/x ?
The limit as x approaches-infinity of x+1/x is -infinity
