Unit G Summary Question #5 Asymptote Conditions

5. Describe the conditions in which a graph can cross through an asymptote.

Graphs can sometimes cross through a horizontal asymptote, but only towards the middle of the graph; never towards the far left or far right. Graphs can sometimes cross through a slant asymptote towards the middle of the graph. Graphs can never ever cross through a vertical asymptote. In a sense, asymptotes are like the boundaries of graphs. The graphs get close to the asymptotes, but never really touch them.
