Introduction to Scatter Plots
Description
A detailed tutorial on scatter plots. Step by step tutorial including several examples of scatter plots for reference.
Overview
A scatter plot is more of a diagram than a graph. but it uses Cartesian coordinates to display the values in a set of data. A scatter plot is normally defined as a collection of points – it is almost like a regular Cartesian graph, but the points are not connected and there are typically more of them. Scatter plots can also be 3D.

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.

Introduction to Asymptotes
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to find asymptotes. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to find asymptotes for reference.
Overview
An asymptote of a curve is a way of describing the behavior of the curve above the origin by comparing it to another curve. The second curve is considered an asymptote of the first if the distance between the two approaches zero as the points themselves extend to infinity. Another way of describing this is that the first curve gets closer to the second as it gets farther from the origin. If the asymptote is a straight line, it is called a linear asymptote.

How to Use the Vertical Line Test
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to use the Vertical Line Test for grphing functions. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to use the Vertical Line Test for reference.
Overview
The Vertical Line Test is a test used to find out if a graph is a function or not. If the vertical line only passes through the line or curve once, then the graph is a function. If the vertical line passes through the line or curve more than once, or not at all, then the graph is not a function. The vertical line only hitting the graph once must be true for every single place the vertical line could be drawn or the graph is not a function.
