3-1/(x+4)^2 find the doman, range, and asymptotes and graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok we have 3 - 1/(x+4)^2, now to find the domain, we can see that we can plug in in any x value as long as x +4 not equal to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or in other words, domain is all real numbers except -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in my opinion, range would be (-infinity,infinity) but i am not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i was thinking that as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the asymptotes, i feel we should look at what happens to the given function when x goes to infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the vertical asymptotes would be x = -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the horizontal asymptote would be y = 3 because the function takes the value 3 as x goes to infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope i am not wrong....am still not very sure though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok you are doing better than I am. Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i know how the graph of -1/x^2 looks like...so the graph of this function would look similar to it
