Considering an asymptote as a tangent to the curve "at infinity", the asymptote is the straight line itself.

Why are asymptotes important characteristics of rational functions?

Asymptotes are one way - not the only way, but one of several - to analyze the general behavior of a function.


Can a rational function have no vertical horizontal oblique asymptotes?

No, it will always have one.


Is it possible for graph of function to cross the horizontal assymptotes?

When you plot a function with asymptotes, you know that the graph cannot cross the asymptotes, because the function cannot be valid at the asymptote. (Since that is the point of having an asymptotes - it is a "disconnect" where the function is not valid - e.g when dividing by zero or something equally strange would occur). So if you graph is crossing an asymptote at any point, something's gone wrong.

How many asymptotes can a bounded function have?

I believe the maximum would be two - one when the independent variable tends toward minus infinity, and one when it tends toward plus infinity. Unbounded functions can have lots of asymptotes; for example the periodic tangent function.

Is linear function the same as linear equations?

No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.
