Graphing a graph

When you sketch how can you work out the limit of what it approaches as x approaches 0? Also, when you sketch , there is an asymptote at x = 0. How come there isn't one for ? Thx

Ah yes, thanks

And as long as it approaches a finite value it won't have an asymptote, right?

This graph wont have an oblique/horizontal asymptote because it blows up to infinity. A graph such as would however have the asymptote .

Just because something isn't in the study design, doesn't mean its not interesting or worth knowing :)

LOL I don't think so. I was considering repeating methods if I got a study score below 45. I'm not going through another year to get 1 or 2 points :P
