How do you find vertical asymptotes using limits? Calculus Limits Infinite Limits and Vertical Asymptotes 1 Answer Wataru Aug 30, 2014 The vertical line #x=a# is a vertical asymptote of $f(x)$ if either #lim_{x to a^-}f(x)=pm infty# or #lim_{x to a^+}f(x)=pm infty#. So, we need to find #a#-values such that either the left-hand limit or the right-hand limit is #pm infty#. Answer link Related questions How do you show that a function has a vertical asymptote?
