Student[Calculus1][Asymptotes] - find the asymptotes of an expression
Calling Sequence
Asymptotes(f(x), x, y, opts)
Asymptotes(f(x), x = a..b, y, opts)
Asymptotes(f(x), a..b, y, opts)
Parameters
f(x)
-
algebraic expression in variable 'x'
x
name; specify the independent variable
y
(optional) name; specify the dependent variable
opts
(optional) equation(s) of the form numeric=true or false; specify computation options
a, b
algebraic expressions; specify restricted interval for vertical asymptotes
Description
The Asymptotes(f(x), x) calling sequence returns all the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal asymptotes of the expression f(x) as a list of equations of the form , , and , respectively.
The Asymptotes(f(x), x = a..b) calling sequence returns all the vertical asymptotes in the interval [a, b], and horizontal and diagonal asymptotes of the expression f(x) as a list of equations of the form , , and , respectively.
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.
numeric = true or false
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.
