Write the formula of the function f(x) whose graph is shown.

Answer:
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x+4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Asymptote: a line which the curve gets infinitely close to, but never touches.
From inspection of the graph, we can see that there is an asymptote at [tex]x=-4[/tex], since the curve gets infinitely close to this line, but never touches it.
Therefore, the function is undefined at [tex]x=-4[/tex]
For a rational function to be undefined, the denominator must equal zero at that point. Therefore, we are looking for a rational function with a denominator that equals zero when [tex]x=-4[/tex].
Therefore, option D is the correct solution, since:
[tex]f(-4)=\dfrac{1}{-4+4}=\dfrac{1}{0} \implies \sf und efined[/tex]
