Question

what is the asymptote of the parent function y=2^x?

Answer 1

The parent function \( y = 2^x \) has a horizontal asymptote at \( y = 0 \). This means that as \( x \) approaches negative infinity (\( x \to -\infty \)), the value of \( y \) approaches 0, but it never actually reaches 0. Thus, the horizontal asymptote is \( y = 0 \).
