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...
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 problem y = \\frac{6x …
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...

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 does it …
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 concave up …
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 division of the …
Do we include asymptotes as critical points? - Physics Forums
Nov 30, 2007 · I was wondering if we include asymptotes as criticals: For example in y = x sqrt(4-x^2) when u find the critical points it gives u root 2 and negative root 2 But when I draw the graph I am …
Why do functions have holes and asymptotes? - Physics Forums
Oct 5, 2012 · I don't understand why there is a hole in the graph of a function when there is a non-zero number in the numerator of a function and zero in the denominator, but an asymptote when both the …
