    im leaning it in trigonometry. My sophomore because im sorta advanced taking two math classes.

    @ AlCapwn: A truncus is a graph with the basic shape of y = 1/x^2 It's understandable that you may have never heard of it, coming from another state or contry, but here in Victoria Australia it's learnt in our last year.

    Just like a real circle. Impossible!

    asymptotes are not theoretical. They are real alcapwn.

    I love drawing these! The equations are also very intresting too.

    This is a hyperbola, Oats, because asymptotes cannot be represented in pixelated form. They can only be reproduced theoretically because once the line is <1/2 a pixel on the Y axis, the asymptote is rounded down to the previous whole pixel; and therefore must intersect the X axis. This never would really occur, though because like you said, asymptotes never intersect the X axis. This is also to the point of another commenter that circles only exist as an idea, not in reality because they must have scalar increments, or in this case, pixels.

    This is a really cool save, and I really am trying not to sound like an asshole, but this is 'technically' a hyperbola. The equation for this bridge is Y=1/X^2. If the X value is in the denominator of a fraction, it will return a hyperbola. The reciprocal of the fraction would, however, be a parabola, or Y=X^2/1. Again, really cool save, keep up the good work!
