How do you find a limit that approaches infinity? How do you tell if the answer is a number, infinity, or negative infinity?

Depends on the problem. In general, see what happens as the variable tends toward infinity.

There is a way to simplify it or manipulate it so that it will not equal something weird like 0/0 or anything over 0, or infinity.

just replace X in the function with different numbers. as the numbers go increasing (approaching infinity) you can see that the graph of your function is going somewhere. with that you can kind of guess what happens with your function when it approaches infinity.

Depends on the problem. There are different techniques involved for different types of limit problems. You need to give a specific problem in order to learn about the technique for doing that particular problem.

You have to study really, *really*, **REALLY** hard âº
