Answer

please see image below (f(x)=red curve, g(x)=blue curve), asymptote of $f:\quad\quad y=0$ asymptote of $g:\quad\quad y=0$

Work Step by Step

Graph $ f(x)=3^{x}\qquad$ (red) by plotting the points from the table and connecting with a smooth curve. $g(x)=3\cdot 3^{x}=3\cdot f(x)$ so the graph of $g(x)$ (blue) is obtained by vertically stretching the graph of f(x) by factor 3. Reading the graph, asymptote of $f:\quad\quad y=0$ asymptote of $g:\quad\quad y=0$
