Videoasymptote

/'æsimptout/

The word asymptote describes a fundamental concept in mathematics where a straight line acts as the limiting value for a curve. This lesson explores how curves approach these lines arbitrarily closely as they extend toward infinity without ever actually touching them at a finite distance. You will learn about horizontal and vertical asymptotes, technical definitions like the tangent at infinity, and how to use related terms such as asymptotic and asymptotically. We also touch upon the metaphorical use of the word in non-mathematical contexts. Watch this lesson to master the terminology of limits and end behavior.
