  1. Why can horizontal asymptotes be crossed? • Physics Forums

    Aug 5, 2007 · I thought that horizontal asymptotes were asymptotes and now I'm hearing that they can be crossed... Is this true? If so, why and how? Okay, wait a...

  2. Why is y=a a horizontal asymptote on the polar coordinates?

    Jun 8, 2010 · Hi guys, I was trying to sketch a polar curve but my curve was different from the curve on maple(I plotted the same curve on maple). Homework Statement Here is the whole …

  3. Oblique Asymptotes: What happens to the Remainder?

    Oct 24, 2011 · Let's say I'm trying to find the oblique asymptote of the function: f(x)= -3x2 + 2 x-1 Forgive my poor formatting. So because the denominator isn't linear, we do polynomial long …

  4. What is an asymptote and why doesn't parabola have one?

    Oct 1, 2007 · The thing I have noticed is that parabola's angle from the x-axis keeps increasing...meaning the object is decreasing from that direction...if that is the case, then how …

  5. Infliction Point: Concavity Change & Asymptotes • Physics Forums

    Aug 9, 2009 · Infliction point exist where concavity changes. Say y=a is a vertical asymptote. If f(x) approaches infinity from the left and negative infinity from the right. Since on the left is …

  6. Horizontal asymptotes - approaches from above or below?

    Feb 22, 2009 · I seem to be having a lot of difficulty finding whether for a horizontal asymptote, whether the curve approaches the asymptote from above or below. For example, for the …

  7. How to find oblique asymptotes for any function in general?

    Jul 11, 2005 · I'm having trouble figuring the oblique asymptote for this problem... I haven't ever done one of these before so I really don't know where to start...

  9. What is the domain and asymptotes for f(x) = |x³ + x²|/(x² - 1)?

    Sep 27, 2009 · The slant asymptote for x → +∞ is y = x + 1, confirmed through both long division and limit analysis, while for x → -∞, the asymptote is y = -x - 1. The discussion emphasizes the …

  10. Describing behavior on each side of a vertical asymptote

    Jan 2, 2006 · Find the vertical asymptotes of the graph of F(x) = (3 - x) / (x^2 - 16) ok if i factor the denominator.. i find the vertical asymptotes to be x = 4, x = -4. The 2nd part of the problem …
