What is the definition of an asymptote?

An asymptote is where a graph may approach some line (in an arbitrary direction). However, the graph does not intersect this line.

What is the difference between a secant and tangent line?

A secant line intersects a curve at two distinct points, while the tangent line intersects the curve at one distinct point.

How can we find the area between two curves?

Find the integral of the curve on top for a given interval. Then, on the same interval, subtract the value of the lower, second, integral.

Natural logs are gross! Let's get rid of them:

ln(x2-4)+ln(x-1)=ln(2x+3)+2

(x2-4)(x-1) = (2x+3)e2
