Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!! Which graph represents the function?

Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical asymptote is the restriction on the x-value.  Since the denominator cannot be equal to zero, then x + 1 ≠ 0 →  x ≠ -1.     So, the vertical asymptote is: x = -1  

The horizontal asymptote is the restriction on the y-value.  Since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is y = 0.  However, there is a vertical shift of 2 units up so the horizontal asymptote is: y = 2  

The only graph that displays these asymptotes is the first graph, which I call graph A.
