Question

What is the horizontal asymptote for the exponential function y = 3x

Answer 1

A. x-axis
B. y-axis
C. x = 3
D. y = x

Answer 2

This is a linear function?

Answer 3

I think you're missing something here...like an exponent.

Answer 4

nope

Answer 5

thats whats its asking

Answer 6

y = 3x is not an exponential function so it's none of them.

Answer 7

There is no Horizontal asymptote.

Answer 8

lol idk man, those are the answer choices

Answer 9

If you graph this it would be like this.

Answer 10

Do you know what is an asymptote?

Answer 11

that's just a linear function. there aren't any exponents, and there isn't a denominator to even find the h. asymptote

Answer 12

i cant seem to remember from my classes. so can this be then?

Answer 13

This is impossible. There are no asymptotes whatsoever in this function.

Answer 14

isnt asymptote the sign that nothing touches the x=0?

Answer 15

it's where x is undefined. but in y=3x it goes to all real numbers

Answer 16

This would mean that there is a VA at x=3

Answer 17

so its x=3 then ?

Answer 18

Although in this case, there are no exponents so it's always a straight line! So there will never be an asympote. If you're ever in doubt, use this:
