Example types with asymptote
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
No closed curve can have an asymptote. (7 words)
However, MetaPost and Asymptote are preferred for mathematical illustrations. (9 words)
Therefore, the x-axis is an asymptote of the curve. (10 words)
For example, the parent function has a horizontal and a vertical asymptote, and occupies the first and third quadrant, and all of its transformed forms have one horizontal and vertical asymptote,and occupies either the 1st and 3rd or 2nd and 4th quadrant. (43 words)
Suppose that the curve tends to infinity, that is: : A line ℓ is an asymptote of A if the distance from the point A(t) to ℓ tends to zero as t → b. citation, §8. (35 words)
Also, y → ∞ as t → 0 from the right, and the distance between the curve and the y-axis is t which approaches 0 as t → 0. So the y-axis is also an asymptote. (34 words)
Example sentences (15)
Asymptotes for rational functions A rational function has at most one horizontal asymptote or oblique (slant) asymptote, and possibly many vertical asymptotes.
For example, the parent function has a horizontal and a vertical asymptote, and occupies the first and third quadrant, and all of its transformed forms have one horizontal and vertical asymptote,and occupies either the 1st and 3rd or 2nd and 4th quadrant.
Green: difference between the graph and its asymptote for When the numerator of a rational function has degree exactly one greater than the denominator, the function has an oblique (slant) asymptote.
Also, y → ∞ as t → 0 from the right, and the distance between the curve and the y-axis is t which approaches 0 as t → 0. So the y-axis is also an asymptote.
An asymptote serves as a guide line to show the behavior of the curve towards infinity.
Functions may lack horizontal asymptotes on either or both sides, or may have one horizontal asymptote that is the same in both directions.
However, MetaPost and Asymptote are preferred for mathematical illustrations.
It is impossible for the graph of a function to intersect a vertical asymptote (or a vertical line in general ) in more than one point.
Moreover, if a function is continuous at each point where it is defined, it is impossible that its graph does intersect any vertical asymptote.
No closed curve can have an asymptote.
Only open curves that have some infinite branch, can have an asymptote.
Such a branch is called a parabolic branch, even when it does not have any parabola that is a curvilinear asymptote.
Suppose that the curve tends to infinity, that is: : A line ℓ is an asymptote of A if the distance from the point A(t) to ℓ tends to zero as t → b. citation, §8.
Therefore, the understanding of the idea of an asymptote requires an effort of reason rather than experience.
Therefore, the x-axis is an asymptote of the curve.
