A horizontal asymptote is a line that approaches a curve as one or both of its x or y coordinates tend to infinity but never intersect or cross the curve. It is a type of oblique asymptote, where the curve goes towards a line y=mx+b as x goes to infinity or -infinity.
To find vertical asymptotes of a rational function, factor the numerator and denominator and note any restrictions in the domain of the function. Horizontal asymptotes can be identified by computing the limits (lim(x to infty)f(x)) and (lim(x to – infty)f(x)).
Asymptotes are lines that the curve approaches at the edges of the coordinate plane. They can be found by taking the limit as x approaches infinity and negative infinity. In geometry, an asymptote is a straight line that approaches a curve on the graph and tends to meet the curve at infinity.
To find the vertical asymptote, set the expression in your denominator equal to 0 and solve for the unknown variable. The logarithm function has a vertical asymptote at x=0 and no other. Wolfram Language function can be used to compute the asymptotes to a given curve in two dimensions. Asymptotes are essential in determining the boundaries of a function and its graph.

📹 Asymptote in interior
We will now consider vertical asymptotes in the interior rather than the endpoints. So we’ve got an interval from a to b and we want …
