the equation of the asymptote y=3^(x+3)+4
 
Hello, Elle88!

I don't understand, can you find the answer?
The equation of the asymptote \(\displaystyle y\:=\:3^{x+3}\,+\,4\)
In general, the exponential function, \(\displaystyle y\:=\:b^x\) has a horizontal asymptote.
\(\displaystyle \;\;\)It is \(\displaystyle y\,=\,0\) (the x-axis) . . . as \(\displaystyle x\,\to\,\)-\(\displaystyle \infty\).

The graph of \(\displaystyle \,y\:=\:3^{x+3}\,+\,4\,\) is translated 3 units to the left and 4 units up.

Therefore, its horizontal asymptote is: \(\displaystyle \,y\;=\;4\)
