Asymptotes and End Behavior Analysis

The video tutorial explains how to determine the end behavior of an exponential function. It begins by introducing the concept of end behavior and the role of the asymptote at y = 0. The instructor then analyzes the graph, focusing on the left and right sides. On the left side, X values approach negative infinity, while on the right side, they approach positive infinity. The Y values on the left side approach the asymptote at y = 0, and on the right side, they approach positive infinity. This analysis helps describe the end behavior of the function.
