Setting k = 0:
When k = 0, the function simplifies to: y = 1 ⋅ 2^(x−3) + 0 = 2^(x−3).
This means there is no vertical shift; the graph of the function will follow the standard exponential growth pattern.

Behavior as x Approaches Negative Infinity:
As x approaches negative infinity, the term 2^(x−3) approaches 0. This is because: 2^(x−3) → 0 as x → −∞.
Thus, the function value y...
