    Asymptote
    • (n.) A line which approaches nearer to some curve than assignable distance, but, though infinitely extended, would never meet it. Asymptotes may be straight lines or curves. A rectilinear asymptote may be conceived as a tangent to the curve at an infinite distance.

    asymptote
    asymptote 1. A straight line that a curve continually approaches, but never meets, even if the curve is extended to infinity. 2. A line that draws increasingly nearer to a curve without ever meeting it. 3. From Greek asymptotos, 'not falling together,' from a-, 'not' + syn 'with' + ptotos, 'fallen...

    Asymptote
    In analytic geometry, an asymptote (t) of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as they tend to infinity. Some sources include the requirement that the curve may not cross the line infinitely often, but this is unusual for modern authors. In some co...

    asymptote
    A curve that gets closer and closer to a fixed straight line without ever actually touching it. Imagine facing along the direction of a great wall that is just a meter to your left. Every second, you walk forward a meter and at the same time move sideways slightly so that you halve the distance be.....

    Asymptote
    In geometry, an asymptote is a line which is continually approaching a curve, but never meets it, however far either of them may be prolonged. This may be conceived as a tangent to a curve at an infinite distance.

    asymptote
    In coordinate geometry, a straight line that a curve approaches progressively more closely but never reaches. The x and y axes are asymptotes to the graph of xy = constant (a rectangular hyperbola). If a point on a curve approaches a straight line such that its distance from the...
