The range of the data is 12
The function
is incresing and have positive values for all x. Then the function
is also increasing and have positive values for all x. This means that options B (values are negative) and D (function is decreasing) are incorrect.
At x=0,
.
In option A graph of the function passes through point (0,y), where y is near 3. In option C graph of the function passes through point (0,y), where y is near 1/5. So, you can conclude that the option C is correct.
