A horizontal asymptote is one in which y has a limit as x approaches positive or negative infinite. It is usually due to both the denominator and the numerator having the same highest degree term, and the coefficient created by their proportion serves as the asymptote. For example, (2x^2 + 1) / (3x^2) would have a horizontal asymptote of 2/3

A vertical asymptote is an x value at which y approaches infinite. One example includes when the denominator of the function approaches zero at a certain point. For example, (x^2 + 3) / (x + 1) has a vertical asymptote at x=-1, since the denominator approaches zero as x approaches this point. 

For an oblique asymptote, y generally takes the form of a linear function as x approaches infinite. This is the case when the highest term in numerator is one degree higher than the highest degree term in the denominator. 

Examples include (5x^2 + 2) over 2x, where the oblique asymptote is (5/2)x, and even the linear function 2x+3 has an oblique asymptote of 2x

F(x)=-1/2(x-2)^2-4 <br> Graph the function
telo118 [61]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is written in vertex form. It has a negative vertical scale factor, so you know ...

  • the vertex is (2, -4)
  • the vertical scale factor is 1/2
  • the parabola opens downward

Vertex form is ...

  f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . . . . vertical scale factor "a", vertex (h, k)

__

Since you know the vertex and scale factor, you can plot some points on the graph. I find it convenient to think in terms of units either side of the vertex. These are values of x that would make (x-2)^2 be 1^2, 2^2, 3^2, 4^2 and so on. The vertical scale factor of -1/2 tells you that the y-differences for these points will be -1/2, -4/2, -9/2, -16/2 from the vertex. Then we have ...

  vertex: (2, -4)

  1 unit either side of the vertex: (1, -4.5), (3, -4.5)

  2 units either side of the vertex: (0, -6), (4, -6)

  3 units either side of the vertex: (-1, -8.5), (5, -8.5)

  4 units either side of the vertex: (-2, -12), (6, -12)

You can plot these points and draw a smooth curve through them. Or, you can let a graphing calculator do it. The result will be similar to that shown below.
