Think of it this way: add in the term of the same degree to the numerator with a coefficient of 0. So for example, (x+1) / (x^2) would become (0x^2 + x + 1) / (x^2). Horizontal asymptote is the coefficients of the highest degree terms, (numerator / denominator). 0 divided by any # is 0. So in the example, (0x^2) / (x^2) is 0/1 which is 0. So the horizontal asymptote is y=0.
Thank you! Khan academy is helping me identify and fix all the holes left from my high school algebra career (they are many) and for the first time I'm really understanding the theory behind it! Understanding it is really making me enjoy math and giving me confidence that I'll be able to handle more advanced courses c:
I learn more from your videos than my prof. I can barely even understand a word he says. I don't go to his lectures anymore instead I skip and watch your videos. Thank you.
Thank you so much!! I watched videos showing me how to algebraically find asymptotes but none ever showed me what they really look like & their true meaning!!!!
Because teachers start with definitions and generalized examples and you just get bored, so you probably start playing games on your phone or something like that. I know i do. If every new lecture would start with easy example so we know what is going on, everyone would listen and understand it..I have an exam tomorrow, and sadly, that's why I'm here..
@Muusicca you do know that nothing is misspelled right? "proofing" and "proving" are different things, both are mechanically and grammatically correct and "proofing" was correct in this context.
higher than any fireworks display, longer than any empire is the pure flight of the curve seeking infinity. (A little philosophical poetry about this topic) Why the heck not?
if the denominator cant be factor in order to find the horizontal asymptote do i have to use the quadratic equation in order to find the zeros of the rational functions?
hi, i have a question. When the numerator is less than the denominator (the degrees) i know that it is "Bigger Bottom Zero" as my teacher taught it and the horizontal asymptote = zero. I want to know why that happens. Please respond when you can. Thanks Sal
I tried watching both with split screen but my vertical asymptote got very large so i stopped porn and let my asymptote cool down and now i understand vertical asymptotes! coooooooool
We had a pop quiz today on graphing radical functions without a calculator. We had to know the domain, range, x-int, y-int, v adymptote, h asymptote, holes, whether it was cont., and if so, points of dcon. As well as graph using specific points. She gave us 10 min to do two probs. You can guess how that went.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Can we use this video for our research as one of our sources? Surely we will greatly appreciate your consent and we’ll make sure to cite your video properly. Thanks!
that calculator is frighteningly realistic
Every video of yours i watch gives me more confident of what we are actually doing in math! Thank god you exist on youtube! God bless you!
Honestly, schools should just play khan academy videos full time.
On jah
no
Man, you explain so well. I understand better watching your lessons for 15 minutes than an hour and a half in class. Thank you so much!!
i donated 100 dollars to you man thank you.. my mom says thank you from india !
MC Asymptote: Can't touch this.
dear sal,
can you post a tutorial on how to steal your brain?
love,
me
Ad: Are those videos from 2010 realllyyy helping?
Me: Uhhh... YES
Period lmao
well math is math lol
This is amazing, thank you Khan..I hope that your organization will continue to expand in the future
a = never
sy = with
mptote = falling
these Greek words make perfect sense, if you know Greek that is.

I think I'm beginning to understand it, but I might need to watch this a couple more times..

I can count on you when nothing else works. You always come through. Thanks so much Mr. Khan.

Bro I laughed so hard at that part
I learn more from your videos than my prof. I can barely even understand a word he says. I don't go to his lectures anymore instead I skip and watch your videos. Thank you.
this is so hard oh my god
"this part of the graph is gonna look like something like THAAAAAAAAAAAAAT" lol
These videos literally prepare me for tests more than the actual in-class lessons do. God bless you, Khan Academy. I literally can't thank you enough.
These videos are a better study tool than my entire class, thank you so much
it amazes me how u cover every topic in algebra
Thank you so much!! I watched videos showing me how to algebraically find asymptotes but none ever showed me what they really look like & their true meaning!!!!
Finding khan's video's is such a relief ...
Kahn, can you please make a video on solving for the imaginary and real roots of a cubic function? That would help out a TON!!
Thanks!

@Muusicca you do know that nothing is misspelled right? "proofing" and "proving" are different things, both are mechanically and grammatically correct and "proofing" was correct in this context.
you are my favorite teacher that i've ever had
Love Khan academy my favorite channel, I don't think I would be able to do my math without it.
lol i love it how you pulled out an actual graphics calculator
This helped sooo much. Just wish it wasn't twenty minutes :P
Love you man, you got us, students covered ;) Thanks for the video, very useful before a test
thank God for Khan Academy
there is some video about slant asymptotes? those are always very difficult for me
Just threw my book through the window... so helpfull
"really really bigness..." ;) hah nice! I love how Sal sneaks in the humor in his videos.
@Muusicca what are you talking about? what is misspelled?
This is better than examples in my textbook.
higher than any fireworks display, longer than any empire
is the pure flight of the curve seeking infinity.
(A little philosophical poetry about this topic) Why the heck not?
so why do you explain this better in 20 minutes than my math teacher does in 5 days?
@khanacademy you need to do one that after the whole x squared dived by x squared minus 16 there is plus 3 or minus 12.
if the denominator cant be factor in order to find the horizontal asymptote do i have to use the quadratic equation in order to find the zeros of the rational functions?
Excellent job !
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!
u explane the math better than my math tacher does
thank you , i understand
good video... I liked it "really really bigness"
Amazing, thank you
How do you get the calculator on the screen?
I need this guy to be my math teacher
hi, i have a question. When the numerator is less than the denominator (the degrees) i know that it is "Bigger Bottom Zero" as my teacher taught it and the horizontal asymptote = zero. I want to know why that happens. Please respond when you can. Thanks Sal
u teach algebra too?!! so now i can come to u for chem and math :D
I tried watching both with split screen but my vertical asymptote got very large so i stopped porn and let my asymptote cool down and now i understand vertical asymptotes! coooooooool
@alkalait Dictionaries with egyptologies are great, front on.
thank you sal!

Hi from India
Hi! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Can we use this video for our research as one of our sources? Surely we will greatly appreciate your consent and we’ll make sure to cite your video properly. Thanks!
thx
you are AWSOME !!!!!!
genius!
thx, love ya
just got 5 more points on my exam for proofing rational function graphs :D
!!!!thank you
My teacher always called them Asymtopes, I guess there's no difference but still.
I love you.
@Underdisc Fo yo info I got an a... Cause I liked it.
Why are we doing this in Pre-Ap Algebra II ?!
How made Korean sub... really appreciate
What is the calculator program you used?
Try searching VTI calculator
What do I do when my coefficients are different?
Divide them
every time something simple is explained i go oooohhhhhhh, so that's how you get that lol
Any practical applications?
Lol, I barely remember commenting this.
It’s math so ofc not
Procastinating Algebra II Virtual School to look up Calculus/Pre-Calc... -_-
The four people that disliked this got an F.
my teacher spent 20 minutes on this topic, consider yourself lucky.
ditto
Ready kana hit quiz? Hahaha
What is the problem?
there is no way he said more than five different phrases throughout this video
Domain: all real numbers except when x= gandalf
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!
"this thing asymptotes away"
@aRAUSEr7 He's using a tablet
who would dislike this video.............people just love clicking the dislike button
lol "asymptotes away"
Students can't use a calculator on a test, so is there a way where one could visualize the answer without having to bunch in numbers?

isn't the va Y=0
Briana Corrielus No, it’s 1. Just watch this 👉🏻 th-cam.com/video/0cPptjKTR7M/w-d-xo.html
lol, writing with a mouse takes skills.
This calculator is very irritating!
