asymptote parallel to x axis we can find by equating the coefficient of highest deg. term of x to zero similarly for y axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and for inclined asymptote put y=mx+c in the equation and then equate the coefficient of highest deg. term of x to zero. find m and c. simultaneously from both the equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give me an example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Polynomials don't have asymptotes. Rational functions might - that is, functions that are polynomials divided by polynomials. But polynomials themselves never have asymptotes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take this eqn. y^2 (a-x)=x^2 (a+x) asymptote parallel to y axis is a-x=0 i.e x=a by equating the coefficient of highest degree term of y to zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perfect!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What you wrote is not a function. There are no polynomial functions (f(x) = anx^n + ... + a1x + a0) that have asymptotes.

the eqution given by me above is one of the quation in curve tracing . and the curve is called as strophoid
