Limits of Exponentials and Sums of Exponentials

The video tutorial covers exponential limits, focusing on their behavior as variables approach infinity or negative infinity. It explains the properties of the exponential function e^x, including its crossing of the y-axis and its behavior as x becomes more positive or negative. The tutorial provides examples of solving exponential limits, including those involving multiple terms, and discusses the significance of positive and negative exponents in these calculations.

What is the primary focus when dealing with exponential limits?

• Behavior as x approaches a complex number

• Behavior as x approaches a fixed number

• Behavior as x approaches infinity or negative infinity

• Behavior as x approaches zero

Where does the function e^x cross the y-axis?

• At x = 0, y = 0

• At x = 1, y = 1

• At x = 0, y = 1

• At x = 1, y = 0

What happens to e^x as x approaches negative infinity?

• It becomes negative

• It approaches zero

• It approaches infinity

• It remains constant

How does e^-x behave as x approaches positive infinity?

• It approaches zero

• It remains constant

What is the limit of e^-x as x approaches negative infinity?

• Infinity

• One

• Zero
