What are the three types of asymptotes?
Three types of asymptotes are oblique/slant, horizontal, and vertical
What are the slopes of the hyperbola's asymptotes?
If a hyperbola is vertical, the asymptotes have a slope of m = +- a/b. If a hyperbola is horizontal, the asymptotes have a slope of m = +- b/a.
How many vertical asymptotes does the graph of this function have?
2
The vertical of the function secant are determined by the points that are not in the domain?
Asymptotes
Can a rational function have no vertical horizontal oblique asymptotes?
No, it will always have one.
How do you find horizontal and vertical asymptotes?
finding vertical asymptotes is easy. lets use the equation y = (2x-2)/((x^2)-2x-3) since its a rational equation, all we have to do to find the vertical asymptotes is find the values at which the denominator would be equal to 0. since this makes it an undefined equation, that is where the asymptotes are. for this equation, -1 and 3 are the answers for the vertical ayspmtotes. the horizontal asymptotes are a lot more tricky. to solve them, simplify the equation if it is in factored form, then divide all terms both in the numerator and denominator with the term with the highest degree. so the horizontal asymptote of this equation is 0.
How many non-verticle asymptotes can a rational function have?
Not sure what non-verticle means, but a rational function can have up to 2 non-vertical asymptotes,
What does tangent 2 x plus 1 equal?
tan(2x) = 2tanx/(1 - tan2x) So tan(2x) +1 = 2tanx/(1 - tan2x) + 1 = 2tanx/(1 - tan2x) + (1 - tan2x)/(1 - tan2x) = (-tan2x + 2tanx + 1)/(1 - tan2x)
A sign chart helps you record data about a function's values around its and asymptotes?
A sign chart helps you record data about a function's values around its _____ and _____ asymptotes. zeros vertical
How do you find vertical asymptotes for trig functions?
Only the cofunctions have asymptotes. Because csc x = 1/sin x, csc x has vertical asymptotes whenever the denominator is equal to 0, or whenever sin x = 0, which are the multiples of pi (0,1,2,3,4,...). For sec x, it's 1/cos x, thus cos x = 0, x = pi/2 + pi*n, where n is a counting number (0,1,2,etc...). cot x = cos x/sin x, thus its vertical asymptotes are the same as those of csc x. If the function is transformed, look at the number in front of x (for example, csc (2x), that number would be 2)), and divide the fundamental asymptotes (above) by that number. The vertical asymptotes of csc (2x) would be (pi/2, 2pi/2, 3pi/2, etc...).
How many vertical asymptotes can there be in a rational function?
Factoring is usually helpful in identifying zeros of denominators. If there are not common factors in the numerator and the denominator, the lines x equal the zeros of the denominator are the vertical asymptotes for the graph of the rational function. Example: f(x) = x/(x^2 - 1) f(x) = x/[(x + 1)(x - 1)] x + 1 = 0 or x - 1 = 0 x = -1 or x = 1 Thus, the lines x = -1 and x = 1 are the vertical asymptotes of f.
A function has vertical asymptotes at x-values for which it is and near which the function's values become very positive or negative numbers?
Undefined; large
