An asymptote is a straight or curved line which a curve will approach arbitrarily closely. A specific example of asymptotes can be found in the graph of the function f(x) = 1/x, in which two asymptotes are being approached: the line y = 0 and the line x = 0. A curve approaching a vertical asymptote (such as in the preceding example's x = 0, which has an undefined slope) could be said to approach an "infinite limit". Asymptotes need not be parallel to the x- or y-axis, as shown by the graph of x + x−1, which is asymptotic to both the y-axis and the line y = x. When an asymptote is not parallel to the x- or y-axis, it is called an oblique asymptote. Asymptotes, especially vertical asymptotes, also not need to go to infinity when approached at both sides. Asymptote x=a is a vertical asymptote for f(x) if it just satifies at least one of the following conditions: A function f(x) can be said to be asymptotic to a function g(x) as x → ∞. This has any of four distinct meanings:
Horizontal asymptotes locator theorem for rational functionsAsk: What is the highest power n of x in the numerator? What is the highest power d of x in the denominator?
