An asymptote is essentially a line that a graph approaches, but does not intersect.
\Consider the function as ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=8d79025f5abcdf4f136e8bbbecc364b1.png\")
.
Graph the function:
\![\"\"](\"/userfiles/89-60(1).gif\")
Observe the graph:
\The graph never intersects ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=8da2268e35b6b6daab9c47f71c4c8bf4.png\")
-axis, its closer to ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=fcd348ebf66f4047fc23f05f2c058874.png\")
but never intersects as well.
