Math Problem Statement

Based on the graph provided by the user, determine the domain, range, and describe the parent function of the exponential growth function.

Solution

The graph you have provided represents an exponential growth function, as noted in the description at the bottom.

Parent Function

The exponential function has the general form: f(x)=bxf(x) = b^x where b>1b > 1 for exponential growth. From the graph, it appears to have a standard exponential growth curve. While the exact base bb is not provided explicitly, the function is written as an exponential growth function.

Domain (D):

The domain of an exponential function like this is all real numbers: D:(,)D: (-\infty, \infty)

Range (R):

For an exponential growth function, the range is restricted to positive values, as the function never reaches zero but grows indefinitely as xx increases: R:(0,)R: (0, \infty)

Would you like more details or have any specific questions?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the significance of the base bb in an exponential function?
  2. How does changing the base bb affect the shape of the exponential curve?
  3. What is the asymptote of the given exponential function?
  4. How does the exponential function behave for negative values of xx?
  5. How can you transform this exponential function with shifts or stretches?

Tip: Exponential functions have a horizontal asymptote at y=0y = 0, which they approach but never reach as xx decreases.
