Question 1 of 21
What is the domain of the exponential function shown below?
Rx) = 5.3x


Sagot :

Given:

The exponential function is:

[tex]R(x)=(5.3)^x[/tex]

To find:

The domain of the given exponential function.

Solution:

We know that the general form of an exponential function is:

[tex]f(x)=ab^x[/tex]

Where, a is the initial value and b is growth/decay factor.

This function is defined for all real values of x, so the domain of these type of functions is the set of all real number.

We have,

[tex]R(x)=(5.3)^x[/tex]

Here, a is 1 and b is 5.3. This function is defined for all real values of x

Therefore, the domain of these type of functions is the set of all real number or it can be written as [tex](-\infty,\infty)[/tex].
