The correct statement regarding horizontal asymptotes is:
**Two of these are correct.**
Here's the reasoning:
1. **The graph will trend toward the horizontal asymptote but never touch it.** - This statement is generally true for many functions that have horizontal asymptotes, particularly rational functions.
2. **Exponential functions have an asymptote represented by the line y=0.** - This is also true for certain exponential functions, particularly those that approach zero (e.g., \(y = e^{-x}\) as \(x \to \infty\)).
Given that both of the first two options are correct, the statement "Two of these are correct" is the most accurate choice.
