The limit of a function as x approaches negative infinity is negative infinity. This means that as x gets infinitely small and approaches negative infinity, the value of the function also becomes infinitely small and approaches negative infinity.
Leading Term: The leading term in a polynomial function is the term with the highest degree. It determines the behavior of the function for large values of x.
Asymptotic Behavior: The asymptotic behavior describes how a function behaves as x approaches positive or negative infinity. It can be determined by analyzing the leading term of a function.
Limit: A limit is a fundamental concept in calculus that describes what happens to a function as its input (x) approaches a certain value or goes towards positive or negative infinity.
