It follows from the above definition that the line x = 2 and also theline y =… … represent curves of the same general shape as that plotted in fig. 31. INFINITE VALUES 27 Ex. 2. + 2 If x 2 or if x is infinite; hence these twovalues may not be assignedto x, all other values, however,being possible. The curve isrepresented in fig. 32. By a discussion similarto that of Ex. 1 it…
