approach an asymptote

"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.

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).

agree Vitaly Kisin : but would advise "approach the assymptote"

A curve can intersect its asymptote, even infinitely many times.

Peer comment(s):

neutral boostrer : no. although in some cases they can intersect, this is not the intention.
