<reasoning>

Analyze the domain of the exponential function

Using the Exponential Function Properties knowledge point
\[
\text{Domain} = (-\infty, \infty)
\]

Analyze the range of the exponential function

Using the Exponential Function Graphs and Exponential Function Properties knowledge points
\[
\text{Range} = (0, \infty)
\]
</reasoning>

<answer>
The domain of an exponential function is <blank>\((-\infty, \infty)\)</blank>. The range of an exponential function is <blank>\((0, \infty)\)</blank>.
