<p class="center"><img src="images/asymptote.svg" alt="Asymptote" /></p>

<h2>Types</h2>
|
|
<p>There are three types: horizontal, vertical and oblique:</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><img src="images/asymptote-types.svg" alt="Asymptote Types" /></p>
|
|
<p>The direction can also be negative:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<img src="images/asymptote-neg-infinity.svg" alt="asymptote negative infinity" /></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The curve can approach from any side (such as from above or below for a horizontal asymptote),</p>
|
|
<p style="float:right; margin: 0 0 5px 10px;"><img src="images/asymptote-crossing.gif" alt="Asymptote Crossing" width="215" height="77" /></p>

<p>or may actually cross over (possibly many times), and even move away and back again.</p>

|
<div style="clear:both"></div><p>The important point is that:</p>
|
|
<div class="def">

<p>The <b>distance</b> between the curve and the asymptote <b>tends to zero</b> as they head to infinity (or −infinity)</p>
