the exponential function f(x) has a horizontal asymptote at y=3 what is the end behaviour of f(x)?
Answer: C) as x → -∞, y → 3
as x→ ∞ , y → ∞
Step-by-step explanation:
see graph
Notice that as x approaches negative infinity (goes to the left), the y value approaches the asymptote of y = 3.
And as x approaches positive infinity (goes to the right), the y-value increases without bound so goes to infinity.
As x decreases without bound f(x) approaches but never reaches 3. As x increases without bound f(x) increases without bound. the option C is correct.
When the expression of function is such that it involves the input to be present as an exponent (power) of some constant, then such function is called exponential function.
Their usual form is specified below. They are written in several such equivalent forms.
From the graph, we can see that as x approaches negative infinity (goes to the left), the y value approaches the asymptote of y = 3.
As x approaches more negative the function will approach the horizontal asymptote,
so lim(f(x)) = 3 as x → -∞.
As x approaches more positive, so does the function,
so lim(f(x)) → +∞ as x → +∞.
As x decreases without bound f(x) approaches but never reaches 3. As x increases without bound f(x) increases without bound.
Hence, the option C is correct.
