document.write( "Question 1027164: Could someone please tell me the correct way to describe end behavior? The function is y=-4/x+1 +3 (-4 over x+1, +3). I am supposed to describe the end behavior of the function as absolute value x increases without bound. y=3, but I'm not sure how I should state the end behavior? Thanks! \n" ); document.write( "

$\"y=-4%2F%28x%2B1%29%2B3\"$ \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The end behavior is how does y tend as x becomes increasingly negative without bound; and how does y tend as x becomes increasingly positive without bound?\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The limit of y as x tends toward negative infinity is 3.
\n" ); document.write( "The limit of y as x tends toward infinity is 3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We say, \"tends\", because infinity or negative infinity is not a number, so x does NOT approach infinity; it can only tend toward infinity. \n" ); document.write( "
