How to find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of a rational function
The discussion revolves around the nature of horizontal asymptotes in mathematical functions, specifically addressing whether and how these asymptotes can be crossed. Participants explore examples and definitions related to horizontal asymptotes, their behavior at finite values, and comparisons with vertical asymptotes. One participant questions the nature of horizontal asymptotes, seeking ...
An asymptote is a vertical or horizontal line (sometimes oblique, but at your level at the moment, I don't think they will be)drawn through the x or y value where the function goes to positive or negative infinity. To determine them you have to evaluate the function to a limit of infinity or to a value that will cause the limit to be infinity.
A quadratic asymptote is an asymptote on a rational function which looks like a parabola. So if you are graphing a rational function with a quadratic asymptote is doesn't pass through. Just like the oblique, vertical and horizontal asymptotes.
The discussion revolves around understanding horizontal asymptotes in the context of polynomial functions. Participants explore the conditions under which a horizontal asymptote exists and question the implications of a curve crossing an asymptote. The original poster attempts to understand why a horizontal asymptote can be crossed by a curve, questioning the definition of asymptotes. Other ...
