Hello!

Given the function, [tex]f(x) = 2(\frac{1}{2})^{x}[/tex], notice that the function f(x) is an exponential function.

All exponential functions have a horizontal asymptote at y = 0, and this means that the graph never goes over the line y = 0. Therefore, the range is less than zero, but never equal to zero.

Also, this means that the domain of the function f(x) is all real numbers because as we substitute positive x-values into the function, the graph goes closer to zero, but never across zero. But, if we substitute negative x-values into the equation, it goes to infinity.

Therefore, the answer is choice C. The domain of f(x) is all real numbers, and the range is y > 0.

We want to find the domain and range of the given equation.

We will see that the correct option is C:

Domain: all real numbers;

Range: y > 0

First, we need to define what these are.

For a given function y = f(x), the domain is the set of all the possible x-values we can input on the function, and the range is the set of the possible outcomes.

We have the exponential equation:

f(x) = 2*(1/2)^x

To get the domain we start by assuming that the domain is the set of all real numbers, and then we see if the equation has a problem for a given value of x, then we remove that from the domain.

But here we have x on the exponent, so there are no value of x that causes problems, thus the domain is the set of all real numbers.

To get the range we can look at the graph, we can see that the range goes from near 0 to infinity, so we can say that:

range = y > 0.

(note that the function tends asymptotically to zero, meaning that it never becomes equal to zero).

Then the correct option is C:

Domain: all real numbers;

Range: y > 0
