Help? Please Graph too! Explain in as much steps as possible how to graph it? If I try and answer my way through it, I will literally fail--I kid you not. I would really appreciate it if you'd take some time to type out the steps with the solutions. I know that's much, but please--I really need this!

Question

anonymous · Answer

Don't worry about failure with this question.  We'll get you to work through it.  As for the first aspect of it, the domain, what values of x are allowed in the denominator?  Hint: the denominator cannot be zero, so it is good to ask what values CANNOT be allowable for x?  Show work

anonymous · Answer

Since the domain has an unallowable value, and you say that you know that value, see what happens as x approaches that value from the right-hand side and from the left-hand side separately.  Then see what happens to the corresponding "y" value.

We will get the shape of the graph by exploring the various values of x.  We will look at what happens to y as x as it goes to infinity, negative infinity, and any unallowable values of x from the right and from the left.

anonymous · Answer

If you let x go to infinity, what happens to the denominator?

anonymous · Answer

And after you answer that question, if you let x go to infinity, what happens to the whole expression 1 / (x + 1)?  What does that go to?
