Question 30 • Algebra II

What are the domain and range of f of x is equal to 2 times open paren 3 to the x th power close paren ?

Answer
A
domain: open paren negative infinity comma infinity close paren ; range: open paren 2 comma infinity close paren
B
domain: open paren negative infinity comma infinity close paren ; range: open paren 0 comma infinity close paren
C
domain: open paren 2 comma infinity close paren ; range: open paren negative infinity comma infinity close paren
D
domain: open paren 0 comma infinity close paren ; range: open paren negative infinity comma infinity close paren

Explanation

The exponential expression 3^x is defined for every real value of x, so the domain is all real numbers, (−∞, ∞). Since 3^x is always positive, multiplying it by 2 keeps it positive; it can get arbitrarily close to 0 but never equals 0. Thus the range is (0, ∞), matching choice A.
