DEFINITION: INFINITE LIMITS
Sometimes one-sided or two-sided limits fail to exist because the value of the function increase or decrease without bound. For example, consider the behavior of forvalues of x near 0. It is evident from the table and graph in Fig 1.1.15 that as x values are taken closer and closer to 0 from the right, the values ofare positive and increase without bound; and asx-values are taken closer and closer to 0 from the left, the values of are negative and decrease without bound.

LIMITS OF FUNCTIONS USING THE SQUEEZE PRINCIPLE
The Squeeze Principle is used on limit problems where the usual algebraic methods (factoring, conjugation, algebraic manipulation, etc.) are not effective. However, it requires that you be able to ``squeeze'' your problem in between two other ``simpler'' functions whose limits are easily computable and equal. The use of the Squeeze Principle requires accurate analysis, algebra skills, and careful use of inequalities. The method of squeezing is used to prove that f(x)→L as x→c by “trapping or squeezing” f between two functions, g and h, whose limits as x→c are known with certainty to be L.
