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