Question 165048: Hi, Can someone please help me?
.
Can someone please explain HOW to find the 3 different kinds of asymptotes in a rational equation? ( Horizontal asymptotes, Vertical asymptotes, Oblique asymptotes )
.
Can you do sort of give a little lesson on this subject? ( Such things like, "How to find Horizontal, Vertical, Oblique asymptotes", " When can you have an Oblique asymptote", " How/When can you get "potholes"( points on a line that can't be in an equation ) ", and similar questions )
.
Can you could give some rational equations ( several different kinds, ones that are fractions, improper fractions, ones that contain "potholes", and so forth ), along with how to find the asymptotes, or "potholes"
.
Please don't just give me the answers to the equations you give. I need to know how to get the asymptotes from an equation, please explain how you get your answers
.
Thank you so much ahead of time, Levi
