The conditions required for a function to be continuous at x = a are: the function must be defined at a, the limit of the function as x approaches a must exist, and this limit must equal the function's value at a .

For a horizontal asymptote to exist, if the degree of the numerator n equals the degree of the denominator m, the horizontal asymptote is y = a/b (coefficients of the highest degree terms). If n < m, the horizontal asymptote is y = 0. If n > m, there is no horizontal asymptote .

A slant asymptote occurs when the degree of the polynomial in the numerator is exactly one greater than that in the denominator. It represents the linear path the function's graph approaches as x tends towards infinity, as opposed to a horizontal asymptote .

The function h(x) is discontinuous at x = 2 because there is no value of h(x) that directly corresponds to x = 2 without interruption or gap in the function's graph .

A rational function cannot intersect with a vertical asymptote because intersecting would imply dividing by zero, which is undefined in mathematics .

To identify vertical asymptotes of a rational function, the method involves factoring the numerator and denominator, simplifing by canceling common factors, and solving the equation when the simplified denominator is set equal to zero .

This concept is known as 'asymptotes,' and specifically 'horizontal asymptotes' when referring to lines approached by the function as x-values become very large .

The infinity symbol '∞' is sometimes referred to as a 'lemniscate,' which originates from the Latin for 'ribbon' or 'band,' symbolizing its continuous, looping form without bounds .

'Infinity' denotes an unbounded limit where values continue to grow or shrink indefinitely; it is conceptualized as beyond finite numbers, hence not being a specific value or location .

John Wallis is credited with introducing the infinity symbol '∞' into mathematical notation, providing a visual representation of the concept of infinity .
