  $$x=\frac{1}{5}$$  

• $$y=\frac{1}{5}$$  

• $$x=5$$

• $$y=5$$

Multiple Choice

A given exponential function has an asymptote at y=-1. What must be the asymptote of the inverse?

• $$y=-1$$

• $$x=-1$$

• $$x=1$$

• $$y=1$$

Multiple Choice

• $$\left(\infty,3\right)$$  

• $$\left(3,\infty\right)$$  

• Cannot determine from the given information.

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

What is the asymptote of the yellow and green function.

• yellow: y=0

  green: x=0

• yellow: y=1

  green: x=1

• yellow: y=-1

  green: x=-1

• yellow: y=-1

  green: x=1

Multiple Select

What is the domain and range of the green function? (Choose 2)

• Domain:

  $$\left(-1,\infty\right)$$

• Domain:
  $$\left(-\infty,\infty\right)$$
  

• Range: $$\left(-1,\infty\right)$$

• Range: $$\left(-\infty,\infty\right)$$

Notice how our domain and range coincide with end behavior?

Open Ended

How can end behavior help us find the domain and range of the function?

Multiple Choice

Choose the correct choice for end behavior.

• 
  

  $$as\ \left(x\rightarrow-\infty\right),\ \left(y\rightarrow0\right);\ as\ \left(x\rightarrow\infty\right),\left(\ y\rightarrow\infty\right)$$
  

• $$as\ \left[x\rightarrow0\right],\ \left[y\rightarrow-\infty\right];\ as\ \left[x\rightarrow\infty\right],\ \left[y\rightarrow\infty\right]$$

• $$as\ \left[x\rightarrow0,\ y\rightarrow0\right];\ and\ as\ \left[x\rightarrow\infty,\ y\rightarrow\infty\right]$$

The end!
