Hi there.

Struggling with 2 questions today.

Are you saying you do not know how to graph \(\displaystyle r= \frac{6}{t+ 1}\)? What is r when t= 0? When t= 1? When t= 2? Plot those points on a graph. What is r when t= -2? When t= -3? When t= -4? Plot those points on a graph. What happens at t= -1? Draw a smooth curve through those points.

This graph has both vertical and horizontal asymptotes. Do you know what "asymptotes" are? If so, where are they?

still stuck

i put in the t stuff but still no clue

We need to see the problems in a readable form, and to see what you are able to do, in order to help you effectively. So far, all we know is that you don't know what to do. At least show us what you did, so we can see whether you are going in the right direction.

No no, you know better than saying that and you have higher standards than that.
To OP: Do you know how to graph y = 1/x? Then you should be able to graph r=1/t. Just rename the x and y axes to t and r. Now translate the graph to the left 1 unit to get r= 1/(t+1). Rescale the r axis and you have r=6/(t+1).
