In geometry, an asymptote is a line that approaches the axis of a graph but does not touch or intersect. The line will continue to get closer but will never actually touch the axis. The line is said to be "asymptotic" if this occurs.

What is an asymptote?

An asymptote is a line or curve that approaches a given curve arbitrarily closely.


What is the asymptote of 3x?

It has no asymptote. 3x is a straight line and therefore is a tangent to itself.


True or False if a rational function Rx has exactly one vertical asymptote then the function 3Rx should have the exact same asymptote?

It will have the same asymptote. One can derive a vertical asymptote from the denominator of a function. There is an asymptote at a value of x where the denominator equals 0. Therefore the 3 would go in the numerator when distributed and would have no effect as to where the vertical asymptote lies. So that would be true.

Does y equals log5x have an asymptote?

Yes, the asymptote is x = 0. In order for logarithmic equation to have an asymptote, the value inside log must be 0. Then, 5x = 0 → x = 0.


What are the asymptotes of a linear function?

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