Answer: Choice D) The h(x) values -4, -2, 2, 4, and 6
Explanation:
The range is the set of all possible y outputs, or h(x) outputs.
We simply list the y coordinate of each blue point shown on the graph.
We cannot say something like -4 ≤ h(x) ≤ 6 because there are gaps where the function is not defined. For instance, h(x) = 0 is not possible, so 0 is not in the range. Put another way: there is no point with y coordinate 0 on the graph, so that's why 0 is not part of the range.
An exponential equation with a growth rate can be expressed as: where r is a positive number, and represents the growth rate.
In this case since the base of the exponent equals 2, that means r=1, since 1+1=2. This means it has a growth rate of 100%, which makes sense, since the base is 2, meaning it doubles or increases by 100% every time x increases by 1.
