@dude There is no y-intercept of 5 on any graph O.o o.O

Angle:

0.25 = 1/4 if x = 1 (1/4)^1 + 5 = 5 1/4 if x = 2 (1/4)^2 + 5 = (1/16) + 5 = 5 1/16 if x = 3 (1/4)^3 + 5 = (1/64) + 5 = 5 1/64 as x is getting bigger, what is y getting closer and closer to?

dude:

Okay the exponential equation is written in \[\large y=a\cdot b^{x-c}+d\\ Where~d~equals~the~vertical~translation\] d does not always indicate y-intercept

Pixel:

you said that already dude

dude:

I made the equation bigger :P

Pixel:

y is getting closer to 6?

Angle:

which is bigger? 1/4 or 1/64 ?

Pixel:

1/4

Pixel:

1/64 = .64 1/4 = .25

Angle:

as x is getting bigger we see 5 1/4 -> 5 1/16 -> 5 1/64 so this is getting closer to?

Pixel:

to another fraction

dude:

LOL

Pixel:

1/256

Angle:

and it keeps getting smaller and smaller until that no longer matters visually the graph looks like it's getting closer and closer to 5

Pixel:

1/65536

Angle:

which graph looks like it's getting closer and closer to 5 as x increases?

Pixel:

A

dude:

\[\it Horizontal~Asymptote=5\]

Angle:

there you go
