Question

Oblique asymptotes are parallel to both x and y axes.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

The above asked question is from Curves in Cartesian Form topic in division Curve Tracing of Engineering Mathematics

Answer 1

Right option is (b) False

The explanation: Oblique asymptotes are those which are neither parallel to x-axis nor y-axis and are given by y=mx+c where \(m=\lim_{x\to ∞}⁡(\frac{x}{y})=\lim_{x\to ∞}(y-mx).\)
