Question 911489: I need steps on how to solve the horizontal and vertical asymptotes of this rational function:

f(x) = 3(2^x)-6
My work so far:
x-int:
3(2^x) = 6
then divide 6/3 = 2? is that right?
2^x = 2/2 = 1 so x = (1,0)
y-int:
3(2^0) = 6
3(1)=6
6/3 = 2 so y = (0,2)
Is this right?
I don't know if how to get the horizontal or vertical asymptote please give a step by step of how to get them.
Thank you

None. No such vertical asymptote. The function is exponential, not rational. Look for the HORIZONTAL asymptote.
