9/16+ 1/2
= 9/16+ (1*8) / (2*8)
= 9/16+ 8/16 (common denominator is 16)
= (9+8)/16
= 17/16
= (16+1)/16
= 16/16+ 1/16
= 1+ 1/16
= 1 1/16

The final answer is 1 1/16~

So you have to make them fractions with common denominators. Obviously they aren't yet. So, what number can bboth 16 and 2 go into? 16.

9/16 can stay as is, but we need to multiply 1/2 until we get ?/16.
2*8=16
Since we now have 16 on the bottom, we need to multiply the top by 8 too.
1*8=8
So your final fraction is 8/16.
But we aren't done yet. You still need to add the fractions to gether.
9/16 + 8/16 = 17/16 --> This can be simplified further down to 1 1/16.

I hope this helps!

The function which has range (2, infinity) from the provided function is y = 5ˣ +2. Option 4 is correct.

<h3>What is range of function?</h3>

Range of a function is the set of all the possible output values which are valid for that function.

The function whose range is (2, ∞) has to be find out.

The first function given in the problem is,

$y=2^x$

This function has the periodic function with period of logarithmic function and the range of this function is all the real number. This is not the correct option.

The second function given in the problem is,

$y=2(5)^x$

This function has the periodic function with period of logarithmic function and the range of this function is all the real number. This is not the correct option.

The fourth function given in the problem is,

$y=(5)^x+2$
