Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis [photosynthesis: The chemical change that occurs in the leaves of green plants. It uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of photosynthesis. ] is a chemical reaction that happens in the chloroplasts of plant cells. It produces glucose for use by the plant, and oxygen as a waste product.
This is the Oblique Asymptote if the degree of P(x) is exactly one more than the degree of the denominator Q(x). An oblique Asymptote is a line of the form y = mx + b where m â  0. To find Oblique Asymptote of a rational function, Step 1: Divide the numerator by the denominator using long division or synthetic division. Step 2: The result of division is a non-fractional part and a fractional part. The non-fractional part is the Oblique Asymptote.
horizontal asymptote is . y =that number. The horizontal asymptote is 2y =â Case 3: If the result has no . variables in the numerator, the horizontal asymptote is 33. y =0. The horizontal asymptote is 0y = Final Note: There are other types of functions that have vertical and horizontal asymptotes not discussed in this handout. There are other types of straight -line asymptotes called oblique or slant asymptotes. There are other asymptotes that are not straight lines.
