To find the equation of the function based on the provided properties, we analyze the transformations of the original function .
1.Vertical Asymptote: The function approaches as x approaches 1 from the left and as x approaches 1 from the right. This indicates a vertical asymptote at x = 1, suggesting a horizontal shift to the right. Thus, we replace x with x - 1.
2.Horizontal Asymptote: The graph approaches 3 as x approaches . This means there is a vertical shift upward, so we add 3 to the function.
Combining these transformations, we start with :
Replace x with x - 1 for the horizontal shift:
