What do you know about asymptotes?

My knowledge on them has its limits

well when a mommy asymptote and a daddy asymptote meet on opposite ends of an infinite grid, they give birth to a finite area that is carefully and lovingly defined, until the mommy asymptote runs away with a thick veiny fat curve that rules her world, and the daddy asymptote just stands there night-after-night watching them bisect each other

You can keep asking, but over time you’ll learn less and less and never get the whole answer.

I was expecting answers but got jokes, not disappointed, just enjoying the jokes.

As for asymptotes, many mathematical functions have a value they are going towards but never quite reach. One example would be to start with 1 and then halve it, then halve it, then halve it, and keep going forever. It will trend towards 0 but never ever reach it.

Another example of approaching 0 is y = 1/x which is a cool graph. There is a curve which starts just to the right of the Y axis at maximum Y value and comes almost straight down, curves out to 1,1 then shoots out along towards the X axis almost but never reaching it. The cool thing is it does the exact same in the lower left quadrant with the line coming from the negative X axis, passing -1,-1, the shooting down the Y axis.

It’s what happens when a very naughty function tries to divide by zero.

The teacher who taught pre-calc got worse and worse at teaching, but never reach the line to get them fired.

I had As in math before I got that dipshit. He failed like half the class, everyone else got Cs and Ds.

I don't like them apples.

What is there to know? They're when a line gets to infinity in a specific coordinate axis, right?

Almost everything, but not quite.

Introduced through trig functions, then calculus limits, then logarithms and exponentiation.

They’re extreme at the limits.

I can identify them in a police line-up of geometry stuff.

sth function approaches a straight line, why do you ask?
