\[y = 4^{x} \]
This is a exponential function.
If x = 0 what do you get?
if x = -1 is your answer still positive?
Look at this graph and tell me what asymptote you think there is.|dw:1375414612898:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
both
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=0 and some random x=...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so vertical & horizontal is most likely the answer you're looking for
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it both vertical and horizontal

No, the line crosses the y axis but it never goes below the x axis. What does that mean?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If the line did not cross the y axis than it yes it would be both but alas it does.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
horizontal
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Can you give me a y = ? answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats all they gave me was that function

Well when does y = 0 at the x axis?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I wanted to see you say all the time ....haha @holtsgirl ... so
wouldn't your asymptote be y = 0.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
In summary exponential functions have a horizontal asymptote at y = 0 . Done.
