1. **Problem:** Given the function $$f(x) = xe^x$$, find the domain and asymptotes.
2. **Domain:** The function $$f(x) = xe^x$$ is defined for all real numbers because both $$x$$ and $$e^x$$ are defined everywhere.
\[ \text{Domain} = (-\infty, \infty) \]
3. **Asymptotes:**
- As $$x \to \infty$$, $$xe^x \to \infty$$, so no horizontal asymptote.
- As $$x \to -\infty$$, $$e^x \to 0$$ and $$x \to -\infty$$, so $$xe^x \to 0$$ because exponential decay dominates linear growth.
Thus, the horizontal asymptote is:
$$y = 0$$ as $$x \to -\infty$$.
No vertical asymptotes exist because the function is defined everywhere.
4. **Summary:**
- Domain: $$(-\infty, \infty)$$
- Horizontal asymptote: $$y=0$$ as $$x \to -\infty$$
- No vertical asymptotes.
Final answer:
$$\boxed{\text{Domain} = (-\infty, \infty), \quad \text{Horizontal asymptote: } y=0 \text{ as } x \to -\infty}$$
