How do you find the intercepts, asymptotes and graph # y=(1/2)^x#?

1 Answer

#y=0# is an asymptote
The curve intersects the y axis at #(0, 1)#

Explanation:

The graph of #y=(1/2)^x#
graph{y=(1/2)^x[-20,20,-10,10]}

from the equation #y=(1/2)^x# as we increase the value of x more to the right. That is more positive up #+oo#, the value of y approaches zero.

Therefore #y=0# is approached by the curve and #y=0# is an asymptote.

When #x=0# the value of #y=1#. Therefore , #b=1# is a y-intercept.
