Looking at the function, it is an exponential function.

When x tends to positive infinity, the function tends to negative infinity.

When x tends to negative infinity, the function tends to zero, because the expression 2^x will be close to 0. That means the function has a horizontal asymptote at y = 0.

Therefore the answer is one horizontal asymptote (y = 0).
