Question

Describe Irrational functions and explain how to calculate asymptotes.

Answer 1

fianlly....now i can answer

Answer 2

you can calculate for vertical asymptote by equating y to infinity and solving for x...usually this happens in rational expressions only

Answer 3

rational expressions/functions are expressions/functions with a variable in the denominator

Answer 4

so vertical asymptotes will happen when there is an x in the denominator...im thinking horizontal asymptotes will happen when there is a y in the denominator

Answer 5

would you like an example?

Answer 6

Yes ................

Answer 7

i'll give a simple one

y = 1/x

you'll notice that if x = 0 then y would be undefined..you have discussed that right?

Answer 8

i mean that 1/0 is undefined..you know that right?

Answer 9

Thanks @lgbasallote now I am going for the Lunch BRB after lunch.

Answer 10

well i have to go as well ^_^ but i assume you know the rest

Answer 11

from my example x = 0 (a.k.a. the y-axis) is the vertical asymptote

Answer 12

horizontal asymptotes will appear in 1/y = x

just do the same process
