1. Horizontal Asymptotes: These are horizontal lines that the graph of a function approaches as x approaches positive or negative infinity. Think of it as the function "flattening out" to a horizontal line as it goes further and further to the left or right.
2. Vertical Asymptotes: These are vertical lines that the graph of a function approaches as x approaches a specific value (usually where the denominator of a rational function becomes zero). The graph will become infinitely large or small as it gets closer to this vertical line.
3. Slant (Oblique) Asymptotes: These are diagonal lines that the graph of a function approaches as x approaches positive or negative infinity. They occur when the degree of the numerator of a rational function is exactly one greater than the degree of the denominator.
