Question

please help????
What is the definition of Asymptote????

Answer 1

refering to mathmatical terms?

Answer 2

Asympotes occur on a graph when there are no existing results...

For an example...a vertical asympotote happens when you have a function like

f(x) = 1/x

When that denominator = 0...we have a vertical asymptote because as we know...anything divided by 0 is undefined...so remember that...a vertical asymptote happens when a denominator = 0

there is also a horizontal and a slant asymptote....horizontal asymptotes happen when you see what the function will equal when you make the variable in your equation a very big number...or infinity...if it equals a number...that is the asymptote...if it equals infinity or -infinity...there is no horizontal asymptote.

Hope that kind of makes sense?

a line that continually approaches a given curve but does not meet it at any finite distance.
