-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As x gets closer to 0, the value of will get larger towards positive infinity. Plug in x = 0.1, x = 0.01, x = 0.001, etc to find that is getting larger.

So as x --> 0, y --> +infinity

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As x heads off to infinity, gets smaller and smaller. You follow the same idea from the previous part above, but the idea is reversed. So

x --> +infinity, y --> 0

As x approaches zero, y approaches infinity and as x approaches infinity, y approaches zero.
