Practice Asymptote in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

An asymptote is a line that a curve approaches arbitrarily closely as the input (or output) grows without bound, but typically never reaches.

The graph gets infinitely close but never touchesβ€”like chasing something forever.

Example 1

easy
Find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of f(x) = \dfrac{3x}{x - 2}.

Example 2

hard
Find the oblique (slant) asymptote of g(x) = \dfrac{x^2 + x - 1}{x - 1}.

Example 3

easy
Identify all asymptotes of h(x) = \dfrac{5}{x + 3}.

Example 4

medium
For f(x) = \dfrac{2x^2 - 3}{x^2 + 1}, determine the horizontal asymptote and verify by computing f(100).
