See process below

Vertical asymptotes are given by values making zero denominator. In this case $x=0$ and $x=-4$

Horizontal asymptotes are given by $lim_(xtooo)f(x)=L$ then y=L is an asymtote

In our case $lim_(xtooo)(x+1)/(x(x+4))=0$ So Y=0 is an horizontal asymptote graph{(x+1)/(x(x+4)) [-6.24, 6.244, -3.12, 3.12]}

How do you find the asymptotes of y=(x+1)/(x(x+4))y=(x+1)/(x(x+4))?
