To derive the equation of the function based on the given properties, we will analyze the transformations applied to the original function .
1.Vertical Asymptote: The function approaches as x approaches -2 from the left and as x approaches -2 from the right. This indicates a vertical asymptote at x = -2, suggesting a horizontal shift to the left. Thus, we replace x with x + 2.
2.Horizontal Asymptote: The graph approaches 1 as x approaches . This means there is a vertical shift upward, so we add 1 to the function.
Putting these transformations together, we start with and apply the shifts:
Replace x with x + 2 for the horizontal shift:
