Answer:
x → -∞, f(x) → ∞
x → ∞, f(x) → -2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) is an exponential function with a base less than 1. It represents decay, so will approach infinity as x approaches negative infinity. It will approach a horizontal asymptote for large positive x.
The -2 added to the exponential term moves the asymptote from y=0 to y=-2.
x → -∞, f(x) → ∞
x → ∞, f(x) → -2

Answer:
Construct MO, where O is the midpoint of CG. (As shown in the attached figure)
(1) LM = MG //given, CM is the median to the hypotenuse
(2) CO = OG // construction
(3) MO is a mid-segment //(1), (2) , Definition of a mid-segment
(4) MO // LC //triangle mid-segment theorem
(5) ∠MOG ≅ ∠LCO // corresponding angles in two parallel lines intersected by a transversal line (CG)
(6) m∠LCO=90° //given, ΔLCG is a right triangle
(7) m∠MOG=90° //(5), (6), definition of congruent angles
(8) m∠MOC=180° – 90° = 90° // linear pair
(9) ∠MOG ≅ ∠MOC //(7),(8), definition of congruent angles
(10) MO=MO //common side, reflexive property of equality
(11) ΔMCO ≅ ΔMGO //(2), (9), (10) Side-Angle-Side postulate
(12) MC = MG // Corresponding sides in congruent triangles (CPCTC)
(13) MG= ½LG // Given, CM is the median to the hypotenuse
(15) MC = ½LG //(12) , (13), substitution
