# Plotting this function, we can see that the global behavior of the function is a constant 2 in the positive
# infinite direction.
# Now, looking at the equation, we can see that the dominant elements are the exponentional elements because
# over a global range, exponential always dominates power elements or functions.
# So, (4*e^(0.6*x))/(2*e^(0.6*x)= 2, which results in a positive infinity limit of 2.
