1. The problem asks for the domain, range, and asymptote of the function $$h(x) = 2^{x+4}$$.
2. Recall that for an exponential function of the form $$f(x) = a^{x+c}$$ where $$a > 0$$ and $$a \neq 1$$:
- The domain is all real numbers, $$\mathbb{R}$$, because you can input any real number into the exponent.
- The range is $$y > 0$$ because exponential functions with positive bases never produce zero or negative values.
- The horizontal asymptote is $$y = 0$$, since as $$x \to -\infty$$, $$a^{x+c} \to 0$$.
3. Applying these rules to $$h(x) = 2^{x+4}$$:
- Domain: $$\{x \mid x \in \mathbb{R}\}$$ (all real numbers)
- Range: $$\{y \mid y > 0\}$$
- Asymptote: $$y = 0$$
4. The shift inside the exponent $$x+4$$ moves the graph left by 4 units but does not affect domain, range, or asymptote.
5. Therefore, the correct choice is:
$$\text{domain: } \{x \mid x \in \mathbb{R}\}; \quad \text{range: } \{y \mid y > 0\}; \quad \text{asymptote: } y = 0$$
