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.

    • @DerekMckean
      @DerekMckean 9 місяців тому

      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.

    When the top power is equal to the bottom power do you divide the tot coefficient by the bottom or the bottom by the top?

    • @Theglowingkey
      @Theglowingkey 4 роки тому +1

      The top coefficient by the bottom, hence his 3/4 example at 5:56
