question

What is the domain of this exponential function?

{

}

{

}

{

}

{

}

all real numbers

key idea

The domain of a function is the set of all possible
x
-values.
The range of a function is the set of all possible
y
-values.

For the exponential function

–

The domain is all real numbers.
The range is
{
y
|
y
>
k
}
if
a
> 0 or
{
y
|
y
<
k
}
if
a
< 0.

solution

The domain of this exponential function is all real

numbers,

since that is the domain of all exponential functions. This is true because the equation can be evaluated for all values of
