Question 19 • Algebra II

What is the range of the function f of x is equal to negative 2 times open paren 6 to the x th power close paren plus 3 ?

Answer
A
open paren negative infinity comma 3 close paren
B
left bracket 3 comma infinity right parenthesis
C
left bracket negative 2 comma infinity right parenthesis
D
left parenthesis negative infinity comma negative 2 right bracket

Explanation

For every real x, 6^x is positive. Therefore, −2(6^x) is always negative, so adding 3 gives a value strictly less than 3. The function can approach 3 but never reach it, and it decreases without bound, so its range is (−∞, 3), choice A.
