Question

What is the equation for the asymptote of the following function?
f(x)=-2^-x+5

Answer 1

Assuming that the given function is - 2 ^ (- x + 5) you need to find the limit of the function as x goes to negative infinity.

That is:

Lim x → ∞ of [ - 2^ ( - x + 5) ]

And the result is 0, meaning that the asymptote is y = 0.
