behavior as numbers become larger and larger, we use the idea of infinity. We use the symbol ∞ for positive infinity and −∞ for negative infinity. When we say that “ x approaches infinity,” which can be symbolically written as x → ∞, we are describing a behavior; we are saying that x is increasing without bound. With ... |
