In Summary

Limits at infinity evaluate the function value when x approaches infinity or negative infinity. In some cases functions increase or decrease without bound. And in other cases the functions will approach a finite value. When it approaches a finite value, we are ultimately finding the horizontal asymptote.

Limits at infinity are typically covered in Calculus I.
