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.
Remember that an asymptote is a line that the graph of a function approaches but never touches. Rational functions contain asymptotes, as seen in this example: In this example, there is a vertical asymptote at x = 3 and a horizontal asymptote at y = 1. The curves approach these asymptotes but never cross them. The method used to find the horizontal asymptote changes depending on how the degrees of the polynomials in the numerator and denominator of the function compare.
