SUBJECT: LIMITS TO INFINITY

PURPOSE OF THE ACTIVITY Solve contextualized problems using limits at infinity.

TITLE: INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION OF LIMITS IN FINANCIAL OPERATIONS

A financial institution is an
institution that carries out financial
intermediation operations; that is, it
raises public capital, provided that
such capital is used in lending
operations or to grant loans to third
parties.
Banking instructions or banks are
perhaps the type of financial institution most familiar to the average citizen. In
addition to these, there are other types of financial entities, such as savings and loan
banks and financial companies, to name just two of the many types of financial entities
operating in Peru.

Financiera COMMA, a nationally recognized bank, offers credit cards at low interest
rates. In which the limits help to develop graphs for the benefit of the company to
know elements such as the level of production and find the lowest possible cost and
thus make a greater profit. To calculate the collection percentage of those granted in
any given month is a function of the time elapsed after granting them. It is a function

(
of p ( t ) =0.9 1−
3
1
0.08t ), where p is the percentage of accounts receivable t months after
granting the card.

If a second Financial "MATBA" is presented , who wants to establish its market in the

area with the following function f ( x )= √

3
6 x 2−x 3+ x
, where f is percentage of accounts
2.1
receivable x months after granting the card. Is it possible that the MATBA financial is
better than the COVID financial, we will achieve this by applying limits with a tendency
to infinity in both functions that characterize them.

 FOR THE TPCC OF THE SUPERHIGHWAY PROTOTYPE: Operation with limits tending to
infinity.

1. (Define) Answer each of the following questions, based on your own interpretation:

a) How to remove the indeterminacies in the limits?

b) If we have a limit at infinity, how can we determine the final sign of the limit, give an
example.

c) Are limits also used to calculate asymptotes in graphs? Examples.

2
d) Write two limits that when replacing the value of x present indeterminacy.

2. (Calculate) For the "COMMA" finance company, after how much time will the
collection rate be 50% of accounts receivable? If the number of months since the
card was issued to the customer grows indefinitely, what percentage do you expect
to collect. Provide an economic interpretation of this result.

3
3. (Calculate) For the financial company "MATBA".
a) Is the limit of the "MATBA" finance function indeterminate? What should you
apply to eliminate indeterminacy?
b) After how long will the collection rate be 50% of accounts receivable?
c) Calculate its limit as it tends to infinity.
d) Compare both financials and interpret which is more profitable.

4. (Design). If we want to plot the asymptote of part of the equation of the financial
"MATBA", given by g ( x )=√ 6 x 2−x3 , Determine the equation of the only oblique
3

asymptote of this function and plot it in the Cartesian plane. Knowing that the
oblique asymptote is determined by:
y=mx+b
Being:
m=g ( x )
b=g ( x )−mx
