FAN and MEDAL!! Explain asymptotes? No one has helped me for the past hour and a half at least :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

Yea XD

this website explains it well http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/asymptote.html

OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):

Can you guys explain how to find the vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An asymptote is a line that the graph of a function approaches but never touches :) If you have a vertical asymptote at x=3 and a horizontal asymptote at y=1 the curves approach the asymptotes but never cross

OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):

So does that mean for horizontal and vertical asymptotes, you just need to look at the graph to figure it out?

okay so |dw:1418264823282:dw|
