To determine the equation of the asymptote for the function \( f(x) = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x + 3 \), we need to analyze the behavior of the function as
approaches positive or negative infinity.The function \( f(x) = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x + 3 \) is an exponential function. As
, the term \( \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x \) approaches 0 because any number less than 1 raised to a large power approaches 0. Therefore, the function approaches:
This indicates that the horizontal asymptote of the function is
.Therefore, the correct answer is:D.
