Unit G Summary Question #2: Limit Notation (Horizontal Asymptote)

Describe what limit notation for horizontal asymptotes actually means. 

Limit notation for horizontal asymptotes is very similar to limit notation for vertical asymptotes. The only difference in setting up limit notation is, we have to write it as x approaches infinity or -infinity, f(x) will reach a certain number. This is due to the fact that we are looking for the horizontal asymptote and not vertical. Limit notation for horizontal actually means that when x is reaching infinity or negative infinity f(x) will be reaching a certain number. The 'y' in this case will forever be equivalent to 0.
