"All real numbers greater than 0" best describes the range of the function after it has been reflected over the y-axis ⇒ 3rd answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The form of the exponential function is , where
- a is the initial value (value f(x) at x = 0)
- b is the growth/decay factor
- The domain of the function is {x : x ∈ R} (all real numbers)
- The range of the function is {y : y > 0} (all positive real numbers)
∵
- Compare it with the form above
∴ a = 2 ⇒ initial value
∴ b = ⇒ decay factor because its between 0 and 1
∵ The domain of the function is the values of x
∴ The domain of the function is {x : x ∈ R} ⇒ all real numbers
∵ The range of the function is values of y
∴ The range of the function is {y : y > 0}
∵ Reflection over the y-axis change the sign of x
∴ The image of f(x) is
- That means, all x-coordinates of the points on the graph
opposite in signs, but that does not effect the domain
because the domain is all real numbers
∵ There is no change of the sign of y
- That means reflection over y-axis does not effect the range
∴ The range of the function after reflection is the same as the
range of f(x)
∴ The range of the image of f(x) is {y : y > 0}
