The only asymptote is the $x$ -axis: $color(red)(g(x)=0)$

The domain consists of all real numbers.

The range consists of all real numbers from zero to infinity, because $5^x$ is always positive.

As $x$ becomes increasingly negative, $g(x)$ gets increasingly closer to zero.

The $x$ axis or $(g)x=0$ is the horizontal asymptote.
