Question

Can someone please help me find the domain, range, intercepts, and asymptotes pf this function?

Answer 1

1) given function

y = - 2 ^ ( -x + 2) + 1

2) domain: domain is the set of the x-values for which the function is defined.

The exponential function is defined for all the real numbers, so the domain of the given function is all the real numbers.

3) x-intercept => y = 0

=> y = - 2 ^ ( -x + 2) + 1 = 0 => 2^ ( -x + 2) = 1

=> - x + 2 = 0 => x = 2

The x-intercept is x = 0

4) y-intercept => x = 0

=> y = - 2 ^ ( -x + 2) + 1= - 2 ^ ( 0 + 2)  1 = - (2)^(2) + 1 =- 4 + 1 = - 3

=> The y-intercept is - 3

5) limit when x -> negative infinite

Lim f(x) when x -> ∞ = - ∞

6) limit when x -> infinite

Lim f(x) when x - > infinite = 1

=> asymptote = y = 1

7) range is the set of values of the fucntion: y

Given that the function is strictly decreasing from -∞ to ∞, the range is from - ∞ to less than 1

Range (-∞,1)
