  • This video steps through 6 different rational functions and finds the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of each. A graph of each is also supplied. On the graph, the function is a black solid line and its asymptotes are green dashed lines.

  • @joycexie8537
    @joycexie8537 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    4:48 I have a question, if shouldn't you factor out the numerator and the denominator first and cancel out (x+2), which would be a hole?

    • @hsmathsolutions
      @hsmathsolutions  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you for your question. In that example, the numerator is prime and will not factor; thus no terms will cancel out. But you are right, if it did cancel, there would be a hole instead of an asymptote. Also, you can take a look at the graph for confirmation.

    • @joycexie8537
      @joycexie8537 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Ohh.....I see it now! There would be a middle term if the numerator were to be factored into (x+2)(x+2) I was not looking carefully XD Thanks for replying.

  • @bonbonpony
    @bonbonpony 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    05:41 Actually, there's one more asymptote in this example: y = x² + x + 1. If you add it to your graph, you will see that the branches of the curve approach this parabola as `x` increases/decreases without bounds.
    06:18 Well, at least not in the plane of the graph ;>

      I don’t understand can you please elaborate.

    • @bonbonpony
      @bonbonpony 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@AadityaChawla-bc4ic Start with the rational function from the video: `y = (x³+2) / (x-1)`. Divide out the numerator `x³+2` through the denominator `x-1` (e.g. using polynomial long division) to get the polynomial part `x² + x + 1` and the remainder (which is still rational) part `3/(x-1)`. In other words, you get the following decomposition:
      y = (x³+2) / (x-1) = x² + x + 1 + 3/(x-1)
      Now observe what happens when `x` increases (or, for that matter, decreases) without bound: the denominator `x-1` in the last term (which is still rational) gets bigger and bigger, which means that you divide the numerator `3` into more and more parts, so each such part gets smaller and smaller, i.e. the entire fraction shrinks to 0, leaving just the polynomial part `y = x² + x + 1`, which is a formula of a parabola. This means that as `x` gets bigger and bigger (either positive or negative), the graph of this function starts looking more and more like a parabola `y = x² + x + 1`.
      Here's a graph that demonstrates it:
      www.desmos.com/calculator/kjs0e3ivya
      Notice how the blue curve approaches the red parabola as `x` gets more and more negative. But when `x` becomes more and more positive, approaching `x=1`, the curve gets farther from the parabola and starts approaching the vertical asymptote (which is a straight line) instead, `y` going towards `-∞`. Then it returns on the other side from `+∞` and starts diverging from the vertical asymptote and getting closer and closer to the parabola again as `x` increases even further (as well as `y`, going towards `+∞` again).
      You can also turn the green graph on or off to verify that these two formulas, `y = (x³+2) / (x-1)`, and `y = x² + x + 1 + 3/(x-1)`, are indeed the same function.
      Also try zooming the graph in/out with your mouse wheel to observe how the graph approaches the straight vertical line as well as the parabola as `x` gets bigger (disregarding its sign) without bounds.

    thank you! I have a question like this 3x^2 + 17x + 10 / x^2 + 7x +10

    • @hsmathsolutions
      @hsmathsolutions  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The numerator (3x^2+17x+10) will factor as (3x+2)(x+5). The denominator (x^2+7x+10) will factor as (x+2)(x+5). The (x+5) factors will cancel between the numerator and denominator. However, the denominator still has the (x+2) factor. So there will be a vertical asymptote at x=-2 (x=-2 causes the denominator to be zero), and a hole in the graph at x=-5 because those factors canceled. Hope that helps!

    what if the function doesn't have a denominator? fx= x+3x+7??

    • @hsmathsolutions
      @hsmathsolutions  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If the function doesn’t have a denominator, then there will be no asymptotes. Vertical asymptotes arise from division by zero. Without a denominator, there cannot be division by zero. Horizontal asymptotes arise from comparing the degrees of the numerator and denominator. Again, if there is no denominator, then there is no horizontal asymptote. Hope that helps!
