What is the limit of #arctan(e^x)# as x goes to infinity? Calculus Limits Limits at Infinity and Horizontal Asymptotes 1 Answer Konstantinos Michailidis Sep 25, 2015 Refer to explanation Explanation: We know that #lim_{x to +infty} e^x=+infty# and #lim_{x to +infty} arctan x=pi/2# from the stuy of #e^x# and of #arctan x#. So, as #x to infty#, #e^x to infty# so that, letting #t=e^x# we have #lim_{x to infty} arctan(e^x)=lim_{t to infty} arctan(t)=\pi/2#.
