Question
The asymptotes of (x²/a²) – (y²/b²) = 1 Show that the
vertical distance between the line y = (b/a)x and the upper half
%3D
of the right-hand branch y = (b/a)Vx² – a² of the hyperbola
(x²/a²) – (y³/b²) = 1 approaches 0 by showing that
lim * -V - a) = lim (x – V - a) = 0.
x→00
Similar results hold for the remaining portions of the hyperbola
and the lines y = ±(b/a)x.
