x=-1

mathmale · Answer

I'd suggest starting with the most basic form of the logarithmic function and determining the equation of the vertical asymptote for that function before attempting to find the vertical asymptote for y = -log(x+1) - 3.

Hint:  the

mathmale · Answer

-3 in y = -log(x+1) - 3 does nothing but shift the whole graph downward by 3 units.  Thus, the -3 will not affect your finding the equation of the vertical asymptote.

so it isn't -1

mathmale · Answer

Hope you won't mind, but I'd prefer that you explain the reasoning behind your thinking that the equation of the vertical asymptote is x = -1.
