Question 7 • High School Math 2 A
Interpreting the function as the exponential function h(x) = (1.4)^x + 5, every real x is allowed, so the domain is all real numbers. Since (1.4)^x is always positive, h(x) is always greater than 5. As x decreases, (1.4)^x approaches 0, so the horizontal asymptote is y = 5; this matches choice A.
