Question 22 • Algebra 2 with Probability

The range of which function is open paren 2 comma infinity close paren ?

Answer
A
y is equal to 5 raised to the x plus 2 power
B
y is equal to 2 times open paren 5 to the x th power close paren
C
y is equal to 5 to the x th power plus 2
D
y is equal to 2 to the x th power

Explanation

For any real x, 5^x is positive, so its range is (0, ∞). Adding 2 shifts every output up by 2, giving the range (2, ∞). Thus the function y = 5^x + 2 has the requested range. The other choices have ranges (0, ∞) or (0, ∞) with a different scaling, rather than starting just above 2.
