The right choice is: A whole number constant could have been subtracted from the exponential expression.
Let be an exponential function of the form [tex]y = A\cdot e^{B\cdot x}[/tex], where [tex]A[/tex] and [tex]B[/tex] are real numbers. A horizontal asymptote exists when [tex]e^{B\cdot x} \to 0[/tex], which occurs for [tex]B\cdot x \to - \infty[/tex].
For this function, the horizontal asymptote is represented by [tex]y = 0[/tex] and to change the value of the asymptote we must add the parent function by another real number ([tex]C[/tex]), that is to say:
[tex]y = A\cdot e^{B\cdot x} + C[/tex] (1)
In this case, we must use [tex]C = -3[/tex] to obtain an horizontal asymptote of -3. Thus, the right choice is: A whole number constant could have been subtracted from the exponential expression.
