Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x
(f/g)(x) = -----------
x + 1
Notice that x cannot be -1, which would lead to division by zero. Thus, x = -1 is the vertical asymptote. Also notice that if x grows increasingly large, the fraction shown tends towards x/x, or 1, so we know that the horizontal asymptote is y = 1.
Draw a set of x-y axes and graph y = 1 and x = -1. Plot (0, 0). Again, note that the graph of this function never touches/crosses x = -1. So, for (-1, 0) the graph is a curve caught between x = -1 and x = 0 that increases as x increases. For (0, infinity), the graph heads upward at a slow pace and then levels off nearly parallel to y = 1 (the horizontal asymptote).
As x increases from left to right, y starts out slightly greater than y = 1 and then (while still in Quadrant II) curves upward and approaches the vertical asymptote x = -1.
