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 the curve never touches but approaches. like say the curve y=1/x will never touch the line x=0(y-axis) nor the y=0(x-axis). so the asymptotes are the two lines. An asymptote is generally drawn as a dotted line. It's not part of the function.
So, the function becomes x/x, which equals 1. Therefore, the limit as x approaches infinity of x/(x-1) = 1. Use the solution of the limit to write your asymptote equation. If the solution is a fixed value, there is a horizontal asymptote, but if the solution is infinity, there is no horizontal asymptote.If the solution is another function, there is an asymptote, but it is neither horizontal or vertical.se the solution of the limit to write your asymptote equation.
