## Asymptotes Worked Examples
|
|
|
|
Asymptotes is the line of a curve as it approaches infinity, but never crosses the line indefinately.
|
|
|
|
Example,
|
|
Take the curve of f(x) = (1/x)

Figure 1: curve of f(x) = (1/x)
|
|
|
|
Here you can see that the lines x = 0 and y = 0 tends to meet the curve at infinity.
