Question

Fan&&Medal...Will someone check my answer? :)

Jennifer was graphing a function and noticed that at certain points, the graph reaches invisible lines the graph will never cross. Explain to Jennifer what the two types of invisible lines are and how to predict them. You may create your own example to aid in your reasoning. Use complete sentences.

Answer 1

I would tell Jennifer about horizontal, and vertical asymptotes. To find horizontal asymptotes, you have to see what the function will equal when x approaches infinity. That's how you can predict finding the horizontal asymptotes in a graph. To find vertical asymptotes, you need a fraction and have to determine when the denominator will be equal to 0. That's you can predict finding the vertical asymptotes in a graph. Also, one thing she should know is that you can't divide by a 0 if it is undefined.

Answer 2

sounds good to me, limit as x-->c from + or - would be + or neg infinity for a vertical

Answer 3

Ok, thank you so much! :D
