Question

Help? Will fan and medal!!


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.

I know that one type is the restrictions, but idk the other type. Please help!

Answer 1

Do you have any idea on how to solve this?

Answer 2

Asypmtotes!

Answer 3

I spelled it wrong Asymptotes**

Answer 4

ohh I completely forgot about asymptotes lol

Answer 5

This might help you, Maybe not http://www.coolmath.com/precalculus-review-calculus-intro/precalculus-algebra/18-rational-functions-finding-horizontal-slant-asymptotes-01.htm

Answer 6

It's just vertical asymptotes that cannot be crossed, right? @swagmaster47

Answer 7

thank you @Wxlfz I also needed something to review
idk who to medal lol

Answer 8

OK. Since you just want to be put on the right path, what you are looking at here are functions that 'tend to' a value. Sometimes also called a Mathematical singularity. A classic example is y = 1/x. This tends to 0, but ever reaches 0, so x = 0 is it's 'invisible line'.

Answer 9

No problem @kobeni-chan Medal who you want :)

Answer 10

ok yeah, thanks @Shadyboy
I'll just medal one of you and hope other people medal the rest lol

Answer 11

Nope! it is vertical asymptotes and horizontal asymptotes that cannot be crossed

Answer 12

Also slant asymptotes

Answer 13

Asymptotes in general

Answer 14

oh ok, thanks for clarifying :)
