What is a y asymptote? I am kind of confused. Also can you give me an example? Thanks.
1 answer:
The y asymptote in a function refers to the horizontal asymptote, or the horizontal line that function generally does not go through. If the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is the x axis, or y = 0. If the degrees in the numerator and denominator are the same, then the asymptote is y = 1. If the degree in the numerator is higher than the degree of the denominator the asymptote is oblique, or a straight line. I am going to attempt to attach a graph with an asymptote of y = 0 ( the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator) and one with an oblique so you can see the difference. There are also vertical asymptotes, but that's another concept.

Step-by-step explanation:
A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two places. The secants interior angle theorem states that when two secants intersect a circle inside a circle, the measure of any one of the angles formed is equal to half of the sum of the two intersecting arcs. Therefore, one can apply this theorem here:
