Hey guys I am not being able to understand the Asymptote. Please say me wheather an Asymptote is a line that really meets the curve or not. If it meets its defination is not saying so beacuse its defination is like this "An asymptopte is a line whose perpendicular distance from any point on the curve tends to zero as the point goes to infinty". This defination is clearly suggesting that the line actually doesn't meet the curve. But while deriving the formula to find out the asymptopte of a curve we have solved the equations of a line(asymptopte) and of curve. How can we do it if it really doesn't meet the curve.
Still another thing; if the line meets the curve isn't it a tangent to that curve. Then the equation of asymptote will be same as that of tangent to that curve.
How can I undersatand this all? If you know any good websites that can provide me the detail infornmation about asymptote please mention it...
