### Graphing Exponential Functions HC

The table represents an exponential function with a horizontal asymptote at [tex][tex]$y = -8$[/tex][/tex].

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
[tex]$x$[/tex] & -3 & -2 & -1 & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
\hline
[tex]$y$[/tex] & 120 & 24 & 0 & -6 & -7.5 & -7.875 & -7.96875 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Create a graph of the function and use it to answer the following questions:

Part A: What is the end behavior of the function? Explain your reasoning. (2 points)

Part B: What are the positive and negative intervals? Explain your reasoning. (3 points)

Part C: What is the percent rate of change? Show all necessary calculations. (3 points)

Part D: What are the domain and range? (2 points)
