1. The line x=a x=a is a vertical
asymptote if the graph increases or
decreases without bound on one or
both sides of the line as xx moves in
closer and closer to x=ax=a.
2. The line y=by=b is a horizontal
asymptote if the graph
approaches y=by=b as xx increases or
decreases without bound. Note that it
doesn’t have to
approach y=by=b as xx BOTH increases
and decreases. It only needs to
approach it on one side in order for it to
be a horizontal asymptote.
asymptote is a line that the graph of a function
approaches but never touches.
Vertical asymptotes are vertical lines which
correspond to the zeroes of the denominator of
a rational function. (They can also arise in other
contexts, such as logarithms, but you'll almost
certainly first encounter asymptotes in the
context of rationals.)
