Asymptotes: Definition Of

Asymptotes typically show up in functions involving fractions or exponents where certain values are undefined.

These occur at specific values where the function can't exist (like dividing by zero). The curve shoots up or down toward infinity as it nears this "forbidden" line. Definition of Asymptotes

These describe the "long-term" behavior of a function. As you move far to the left or right on a graph, the curve levels out and gets closer to a specific horizontal value. Definition of Asymptotes
