Answer

Domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$ Range: $(4,\infty)$ Asymptote: $y=4$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $$f(x)=e^{x-4}+4.$$ Consider the function $f_0(x)=e^x$ as the parent function. First we obtain the graph of $f_1(x)=e^{x-3}$ by horizontally shifting the graph of $f_0$ by $3$ units to the right. Then we obtain the graph of $f(x)=e^{x-3}+4$ by vertically shifting the graph of $f_1$ by $4$ units up (see the graph). From the graph we determine the following elements of function $f$: - the domain: $$\text{domain}=(-\infty,\infty)$$ - the range: $$\text{range}=(4,\infty)$$ - the horizontal asymptote: $$y=4.$$
