$\"y+=+%28x%5E2+-+1%29%2F%28x%2B1%29\"$ . The domain of this function is the set of all real numbers except x = -1. That said, the expression is reduced as follows:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+%28x%5E2+-+1%29%2F%28x%2B1%29+=+%28%28x-1%29%28x%2B1%29%29%2F%28x%2B1%29+=+x-1\"$ , with x not equal to -1.
\n" ); document.write( "The x-intercept: x-1 = 0, or x = 1.
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept: y = 0-1 = -1.
\n" ); document.write( "There are NO slant, vertical, or horizontal asymptotes. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
