I see you've uploaded an image containing multiple-choice math questions. Let's go through each question to determine the correct answers.

Questions and Answers:

  1. Which of the following is an exponential function?

    • Answer: A. y=5xy = 5^x
    • Reason: It's the only function where the variable xx is in the exponent, defining it as an exponential function.
  2. Which could be the set of ordered pairs of the function f(x)=2x+3f(x) = 2^x + 3?

    • Answer: B.
    • Reason: Calculation for each xx value in option B matches the function f(x)=2x+3f(x) = 2^x + 3. For example, f(2)=22+3=0.25+3=3.25f(-2) = 2^{-2} + 3 = 0.25 + 3 = 3.25.
  3. Determine the set range of the function f(x)=2x+3f(x) = 2^x + 3.

    • Answer: C. (3,)(3, \infty)
    • Reason: Since 2x2^x ranges from 00 to \infty (excluding 00), adding 33 shifts the entire range up by 33.
  4. Determine the set of domain of the function f(x)=2x+3f(x) = 2^x + 3.

    • Answer: A. set of real numbers
    • Reason: The domain of an exponential function is all real numbers.
  5. What is the horizontal asymptote of the function f(x)=2x+3f(x) = 2^x + 3?

    • Answer: B. x=3x = 3
    • Reason: As xx approaches negative infinity, 2x2^x approaches 00, so f(x)f(x) approaches 33, making y=3y = 3 the horizontal asymptote.
  6. What is the zero of a function?

    • Answer: B. x=0x = 0
    • Reason: The zero of a function is where the function crosses the x-axis, i.e., f(x)=0f(x) = 0.
  7. What happened to the values of y as x decreases?

    • Answer: C. approaches to 0
    • Reason: The graph is an exponential decay graph, so as xx decreases, yy values approach 00.
  8. What are the intercepts of the function?

    • Answer: B. x=0x = 0, y=0y = 0
    • Reason: The graph crosses both axes at the origin (0,0).
  9. What are the sets of domain and range?

    • Answer: C. D:(,)D: (-\infty, \infty), R:(3,)R: (-3, \infty)
    • Reason: The domain of an exponential function is all real numbers, and the range is all real numbers above -3, given the graph's downward shift.
  10. What is the horizontal asymptote of the given graph of a function?

    • Answer: A. y=3y = -3
    • Reason: The graph approaches y=3y = -3 as xx moves towards positive infinity.

Please review the answers, and let me know if you'd like more details on any specific question or topic!

Additional Questions:

  1. Why does the range of an exponential function 2x+32^x + 3 start from 33 and not 00?
  2. How would changing the base of the exponential affect the graph and its properties?
  3. What would happen to the graph if we subtracted a number instead of adding 3?
  4. Can you explain the concept of exponential growth and decay in more detail?
  5. What are other types of asymptotes, and how are they determined from the equation of a function?

Tip:

Remember, for exponential functions like f(x)=ax+kf(x) = a^x + k, the graph's behavior (growth or decay) depends on whether aa is greater than or less than 1, and the horizontal asymptote is determined by the constant kk.
