approach an asymptote Explanation: "An asymptote is a straight line to which the curve approaches while it moves away from the origin" (Handbook of Mathematics) Не факт, что в данном конкретном случае есть пересечение с асимптотой, поэтому об этом не надо говорить. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 час (2009-01-17 17:06:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yeah, I happen to know what an asymptote is and also aware about the crossings. Nevertheless the curve does approach an asymptote no matter whether they intersect or not (and we have no idea). |
