For f(x) = 3^x:

- As x โ†’ โˆž: f(x) โ†’ โˆž (grows without bound).
lim_{xโ†’โˆž} 3^x = โˆž.

- As x โ†’ โˆ’โˆž: f(x) โ†’ 0 from above (approaches 0 but never reaches it).
lim_{xโ†’โˆ’โˆž} 3^x = 0^+.

Consequences: horizontal asymptote y = 0, domain (โˆ’โˆž, โˆž), range (0, โˆž). The function is always positive and strictly increasing (f'(x) = ln(3)ยท3^x > 0).
