![### Horizontal Shifting of Graphs
The graph to the right was created by horizontally shifting the graph of the basic function \( y = \frac{1}{x} \). Write a function that describes the graph shown to the right.
#### Explanation of the Graph
The provided graph is plotted on a standard coordinate plane. Here are the detailed observations:
- **Axes:** The \( x \)-axis and \( y \)-axis intersect at the origin.
- **Grid:** The background is a grid, providing a clearer view of the increments.
- **Curve:** The blue curve labeled \( f(x) \) demonstrates a hyperbolic shape typical of inverse functions.
The key characteristic of this graph is that it represents a horizontal shift of the basic hyperbolic function \( y = \frac{1}{x} \).
- The original curve of \( y = \frac{1}{x} \) has asymptotes at \( x=0 \).
- The shifted curve \( f(x) \) appears to have its vertical asymptote now at \( x = 3 \), indicating the entire curve has been moved 3 units to the right.
#### Question
The function that describes the graph is \( f(x) = \boxed{\frac{1}{x-3}} \). (Simplify your answer.)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F0c3541e1-5e06-431d-ac0c-cc0370504735%2F0325c2e7-efd1-4c69-bff2-14d0382ce402%2F1mnjcs_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
