Question 17 • Algebra 2 with Probability

What are the domain and range of f of x is equal to 1 fifth to the x th power ?

Answer
A
The domain is all real numbers. The range is all real numbers.
B
The domain is all real numbers greater than zero. The range is all real numbers greater than zero.
C
The domain is all real numbers. The range is all real numbers greater than zero.
D
The domain is all real numbers greater than zero. The range is all real numbers.

Explanation

The function is f(x) = (1/5)^x. Any real number can be used as the exponent, so the domain is all real numbers. An exponential expression with a positive base is always positive, and as x varies over all real numbers, (1/5)^x can take every positive value; it never equals zero. Therefore, the range is all real numbers greater than zero, as stated in choice A.
