We all know Abe Lincoln and John F. Kennedy have similarities but try to have a history teacher explain this if they can. The similarities between the two are startling. Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
An asymptote is a line that approaches a given curve or a function arbitrarily closer but never intersects. There are three types of asymptotes namely, Oblique asymptote, Horizontal asymptote, and Vertical asymptote. The types of asymptotes are represented in the below graph: Note that,
Whereas you can never touch a vertical asymptote, you can (and often do) touch and even cross horizontal asymptotes. Whereas vertical asymptotes indicate very specific behavior (on the graph), usually close to the origin, horizontal asymptotes indicate general behavior far off to the sides of the graph.It is common and perfectly okay to cross a horizontal asymptote. It's the vertical asymptotes that I'm not allowed to touch.). As I can see in the table of values and the graph, the horizontal asymptote is the x-axis. horizontal asymptote: y = 0 (the x-axis).
