-
|
(optional) name; specify the dependent variable
|

Description
|
|
•
|
The default name of the dependent variable is y unless y is specified as the independent variable.
|
•
|
If the independent variable can be uniquely determined from the expression, the parameter x need not be included in the calling sequence.
|
•
|
If the expression has an infinite number of vertical asymptotes, a warning message and sample vertical asymptotes are returned.
|
•
|
The opts argument can contain the following equation that sets computation options.
|
|
Whether to use numeric methods (using floating-point computations) to find the asymptotes of the expression. If this option is set to true, the points a and b must be finite and are set to and if they are not provided. By default, the value is false.
