Advanced MathEasy–MediumValue approached by an exponential function

Advanced Math practice question

The function f is defined by f(x) = 2ˣ + 3. As x decreases without bound, the value of f(x) gets closer and closer to what number?

Answer: 3

2ˣ approaches 0 as x decreases, so f(x) approaches 3.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 0
0 is what 2ˣ approaches, not f(x).
If you answered 2
2 is the base.
If you answered 5
5 is f(1).
