How to Find Horizontal Asymptotes
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to find horizontal asymptotes. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to find horizontal asymptotes for reference.
Overview
There are several different types of asymptotes. In this tutorial, we will be discussing horizontal asymptotes. In order to find the horizontal asymptotes of a function, take the limit of the function to infinity. Every function has a horizontal asymptote if it has a limit to infinity. The limit is your horizontal asymptote.

How to Find Vertical Asymptotes
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to find vertical asymptotes. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to find vertical asymptotes for reference.
Overview
There are several different types of asymptotes. In this tutorial, we will be discussing vertical asymptotes. In order to find the vertical asymptotes of a function, we must first determine if there is a vertical asymptote. There is only a vertical asymptote if the limit of the function is equal to positive or negative infinity. If that is true, then the limit will reveal the vertical asymptote.
