An asymptote
An asymptote is a straight line which a curve approaches arbitrarily closely as they head towards infinity.
In mathematics, a asymptote is a straight line that a curve approaches but never quite reaches. Asymptotes can occur in various mathematical functions, such as rational functions or exponential functions. They are used to describe the behavior of a function as the input approaches infinity or negative infinity.
Considering an asymptote as a tangent to the curve "at infinity", the asymptote is the straight line itself.
No, it would not.
The set of points on a straight curve that extends to infinity in both directions is a line. A ray is the set of points that lie on a straight curve that is terminated at a point, and continues to infinity. It is also called a half-line. If the set is terminated at a point at both ends, then it is a line segment.
Your question seems very confused. The normal convention of the Cartesian coordinate system would place negative numbers below the x axis, so that any curve approaching negative infinity would curve downward, not upward.
An asymptote of a curve is a line where the distance of the curve and line approach zero as they tend to infinity (they get closer and closer without ever meeting) If one zooms out of a hyperbola, the straight lines are usually asymptotes as they get closer and closer to a specific point, yet do not reach that point.
Curve is one possible opposite of straight if straight refers to line that does not bend. Other meanings of straight like honest, heterosexual, and direct have different opposites than curve.
A ball thrown straight will curve downward due to the pull of gravity acting on it. As the ball moves forward, gravity exerts a downward force on it, causing it to follow a curved path towards the ground. This downward curve is influenced by factors such as air resistance and the initial velocity and angle at which the ball was thrown.
The straight ball.
When rounding a curve, the centripetal force comes into play. This force is directed towards the center of the curve and is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path rather than continuing in a straight line.
a curve... Well that could be an answer however it is not possible to have a bend or a curve 'in' a straight road. A curve or bend is, by definition, after the end of one straight section and before the beginning of the next; so it can not be 'in' a straight road.
