Limits -> Infinity

When presented with limits to infinity, you are usually given a fraction that is similar to p(x)/q(x). When this occurs, there are three rules you must follow that will make your answers so much easier!

If n > m your limit is 0
If n = m your limit is the numerator/denominator
If your n > m your limit does not exist

n = power of the numerator
m = power of the denominator

For example
lim       2x+1/x^2
x -> infinity

n < m = limit = 0
