1. The problem asks to identify which functions represent exponential growth and which have horizontal asymptotes based on the graph descriptions.
2. Exponential growth functions increase as $x$ increases, typically of the form $y = a^x$ with $a > 1$.
3. Exponential decay functions decrease as $x$ increases, typically of the form $y = a^x$ with $0 < a < 1$.
4. Horizontal asymptotes occur when the function approaches a constant value as $x \to \infty$ or $x \to -\infty$.
5. From the description:
- $y = f(x)$ is an orange decreasing curve (exponential decay).
- $y = g(x)$ is a blue decreasing curve (exponential decay).
- $y = h(x)$ is a green increasing curve (exponential growth).
- $y = k(x)$ is a purple increasing curve (exponential growth).
6. Therefore, the functions representing exponential growth are $y = h(x)$ and $y = k(x)$.
7. All exponential functions have horizontal asymptotes, typically $y=0$.
8. Hence, $y = f(x)$, $y = g(x)$, $y = h(x)$, and $y = k(x)$ all have horizontal asymptotes.
Final answers:
- Exponential growth: $h(x)$ and $k(x)$
- Horizontal asymptotes: $f(x)$, $g(x)$, $h(x)$, $k(x)$
