What are the asymptotes for g(x)=5^xg(x)=5x?

The only asymptote is the xx-axis: color(red)(g(x)=0)g(x)=0

The domain consists of all real numbers.

The range consists of all real numbers from zero to infinity, because 5^x5x is always positive.

As xx becomes increasingly negative, g(x)g(x) gets increasingly closer to zero.

The xx axis or (g)x=0(g)x=0 is the horizontal asymptote.
