3. The Dominance of Functions
• Any exponential function of n dominates any
0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
polynomial function of n.
• Any polynomial function of n dominates and
logarithmic function of n.
• Any logarithmic function of n dominates a
constant term. 1
2
• Any polynomial of degree k dominates a
polynomial of degree l if and only if k>l
4
In general, x(n) dominates y(n) if and only if
grows large.

9. Limit Existence from a Graph
Conclusion:
0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
Existence or nonexistence
at x=c has no effect on the
existence of the limit of the
2
function at x=c.

10. Limit Non-Existence from a Graph
Conclusion:
0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
The limit at x=c does not exist
if the function has oscillating
or unbounded behavior or a
2
jump discontinuity at x=c.

• Rationalize the numerator or denominator
• Use Trig Substitutions to rewrite the function

polygons in order to evaluate limits at infinity

20. Limits at Infinity of Rational Functions
• If the degree of the numerator is less than the
0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
degree of the denominator, then the limit of
the rational function is 0.
• If the degree of the numerator is equal to the
1
degree of the denominator, then the limit of
2
the rational function is the ratio of the leading
coefficients.

• If the degree of the numerator is greater than
the degree of the denominator, then the limit
of the rational function does not exist.
