we are given


g(x)=(0.5)^x+4

we can see that

there is no value of x for which g(x) is not defined

so, no vertical asymptote exists

now, we will find horizontal asymptote


\lim_(x \to \infty) g(x)= \lim_(x \to \infty)((0.5)^x+4 )


\lim_(x \to \infty) g(x)= (\lim_(x \to \infty) (0.5)^x+\lim_(x \to \infty) 4 )


\lim_(x \to \infty) g(x)= 0+4

so, we get

horizontal asymptote as


y= 4............Answer
