Answer

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}S(x)=550.$ Students living in households with extremely high incomes have an average SAT score that approaches $550$.

Work Step by Step

$x$ is "approaching $+\infty$" means that $x$ is assuming positive values of greater and greater magnitude. See table below. As $x$ assumes positive values of greater and greater magnitude, the function value approaches the value $550$. So, we write $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}S(x)=550.$ Thus, students living in households with extremely high incomes have an average SAT score that approaches $550$.
