Question 9

Which property of exponential functions explains why $$y = 2^x is $$always increasing?

Accepted Answer

The base $$b \u003e 1$$ causes the function to be strictly increasing for all $$x$$

Question 10

What is the domain and range of the exponential function $$f(x) = b^x$$ for $$b \u003e 0$$, $$b 
eq 1$$?

Accepted Answer

Domain: $$(-\infty, \infty)$$, Range: $$(0, \infty)$$

Question 11

Accepted Answer

The function is always decreasing

Question 17

If $$f(x) = x^2$ and g(x$$) = \sqrt{x}$$, are f$ and g$ inverses of each other on $$(-\infty, \infty)$$?
