Answer:

The expression with the described characteristics is: y = 3*(x - 8)^2 - 14. Therefore the correct answer is letter D.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe there is a typo in the vertex's coordinate, I think it should be (8,14). I came to this conclusion by observing the possible answers, if the given vertex is correct then there are no correct answers among them. I made my best effort to explain the question in a way that can be generalized for different vertex's coordinates.

The equations are given in their vertex form. This form has the following structure:

y = a*(x - h)^2 - k

Where (h,k) are the vertex's coordinates, in our case (8, 14). This knowledge makes easier to determine a equation with the correct vertex as shown below:

y = a*(x - 8)^2 - 14

Where the value of "a" must be determined by applying the given point.

13 = a*(5 - 8)^2 - 14\\13 = a*(3)^2 - 14\\a*9 = 27\\a = \frac{27}{9}\\a = 3

The expression with the described characteristics is: y = 3*(x - 8)^2 - 14. Therefore the correct answer is letter D.

The answer to this question is FALSE.

Domain is the set of all the numbers that we can input to the function or that can be used in place of x. The numbers which make the function undefined are excluded from the domain.

In the given exponential function, there is no any value of x which will make the function undefined, so the domain of the function if set of All real numbers. In general, domain of exponential functions is Set of All real numbers.
