To find the equation for the function based on the given properties, we need to analyze the transformations applied to the original function .
1.Horizontal Shift: The function approaches as x approaches 5 from the left and as x approaches 5 from the right. This suggests a vertical asymptote at x = 5, indicating a horizontal shift to the right. Therefore, we would replace x with x - 5.
2.Vertical Shift: The horizontal asymptote of the transformed function approaches -1 as x approaches . This suggests a vertical shift downward. To achieve this, we would subtract 1 from the function.
Putting these transformations together, we start with and apply the shifts:
Replace x with x - 5 for the horizontal shift:
