Finding the asymptotes

👉 Learn how to find the vertical/horizontal asymptotes of a function. An asymptote is a line that the graph of a function approaches but never touches. The vertical asymptote is a vertical line that the graph of a function approaches but never touches. To find the vertical asymptote(s) of a rational function, we set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x.
The horizontal asymptote is a horizontal line which the graph of the function approaches but never crosses (though they sometimes cross them). A rational function has a horizontal asymptote of y = 0 when the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator. A rational function has a horizontal asymptote of y = c, (where c is the quotient of the leading coefficient of the numerator and that of the denominator) when the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator. A rational function has no horizontal asymptote if the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator.

True story: my online math teacher doesn't actually teach, and the textbook is too confusing. She just sent me your channel to learn, so I guess you're my online teacher? You do a great job though, thanks.

[@devinhughes7803]

Exact same here, even when I get something wrong, she tells me "Thats incorrect" and I gotta figure it out myself lol

[@thesenate8268]

Inform her to your school, what kind of shitty teacher is that? If your school doesn't take action, then inform ministry of education.

[@philipweinseimer8865]

Calc exam tomorrow. This is legit the best demonstration of a concept I have ever seen. All the questions that arose while I was watching seemed to be immediately answered as you broke down the steps

[@DerekMckean]

This is Precalculus aka College Algebra + trig. The creator of this video probably is super happy, but graphing irrational expressions is a college algebra concept that should have been grasped before Calc 1. Although just like me, maybe you already took Precalculus and needed a refresher of Precalculus before taking your Calc exam. Why didn't i think of that before I commented? That's probably what it is. I had originally thought your college might have misplaced you. I always find myself reviewing stuff from Precalculus and intermediate algebra since math is not exactly like riding a bike. I've never taken Calc and now it's been 6 years since I have taken Precalculus. However, it's great this video helped you 2 years ago. And now that's been 2 full years, you are probably a senior in college or a junior in college having completed Calc 1, 2, and maybe 3. I think math can be cool to study when you're not in a class.

The way the the students are made to understand the asymptotes is superb. By learning through this type of visuals an average student will become a master. I was thought these asymptotes in my first year of engineering in 1958-59. I am very happy that students at undergraduate level are becoming very knowledgeable and able to develop faster than our times. This scientific type of teaching deserves great appreciation. Keep it up. D.S.Sastry 1962 graduate in mechanical engineering from college of engineering Kakinada.Andhra university.

Sir in some questions, we put limit to find asymtote. Is it ok if we do your this method ? Without using limit?

[@emilia5146]

Vertical aysmtope: equate denominator to zero and solve for x Horizontal asymtope: If the power of x in the numerator is 0 relative to that of the denominator, y=0 If the power of x in the numerator is not 0 but less than that of the denominator, the ratio of coefficients is the asymtope Oblique asymtope: if the power of x in the numerator is more than that of the denominator, the asymtope is instead an oblique asymtope, which can be found by long devision
