i have questions about graphs and asyptomes domains and etc.

OpenStudy (boldjon):

yeah what is it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where are you stuck @baby456 ?

OpenStudy (baby456):

ok well i am realy just stuck everywhere its like i completly forgot

OpenStudy (baby456):

especially the asymptote part

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if we have a horizontal asymptote of y = 0, it means that the graph will approach the line y = 0. With horizontal asymptotes, the function may or may not cross over the horizontal line

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

here's a blank xy axis |dw:1451703716950:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the line y = 0 happens everywhere the value of y is 0, so all along the x axis |dw:1451703743066:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

a function like this has a horizontal asymptote of y = 0 because it's slowly approaching it. Getting closer and closer |dw:1451703788445:dw| in that case above, it doesn't touch it at all

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but for horizontal asymptotes, it's possible to cross it. The only thing that matters is that as x heads off to infinity, the function gets closer to this line |dw:1451703839209:dw|
