Connect formulas to visible tails

Students use the original equation with a blank or completed graph, then report an exact result for one specified direction.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Connect exact symbolic end behavior with visible graph tails, holes, poles, and real-domain boundaries.

Worked example

Does a top-edge arrow prove the limit is positive infinity?

No. It only shows the curve continues beyond the viewing window.

Use the specified x-direction and equation to determine the true tail behavior.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Check which branch continues toward the requested infinity.
  • Keep removable holes separate from vertical asymptotes.
  • Use the equation for exact logarithmic constants.
