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,
A vertical asymptote really serves as a reminder that that value of x is not in the domain. Horizontal and oblique asymptotes describe the behavior of y as x goes to +/- infinity. There is no horizontal line test for functions themselves, so a function can repeat y-values infinitely. You can solve the equation f(x) = the equation of the asymptote (either HA or OA) to find any / all values of x where the curve crosses the HA or OA. notthejake Â· 8 years ago.
