Answer:

Horizontal asymptote of y=1.

Explanation:

End behavior is talking about limits as x approaches infinity and negative infinity


\lim_(x \to \infty) (x+1)/(x+3) = 1

because substituting large numbers in for x (like a million, billion, or trillion) would give basically a large number over basically the same large number, and anything over itself = 1.


\lim_(x \to -\infty) (x+1)/(x+3) = 1

Same reasoning as the last one.

So, x+1/x+3 has a horizontal asymptote of y=1.
