Answer:

x = - 3

Explanation:

y = 5 +
(1)/(x+3)

=
(5(x+3))+1)/(x+3) =
(5x+16)/(x+3)

The denominator of y cannot be zero as this would make y undefined

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non- zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

The vertical asymptote is x = - 3
