<reasoning>

Analyze the base function

\[
9^x > 0 \quad \text{for all } x \in \mathbb{R}
\]

Apply the scalar multiplication

\[
f(x) = \frac{1}{7}(9)^x > 0 \quad \text{for all } x \in \mathbb{R}
\]

Determine the range

\[
\text{Range: } (0, \infty) \implies \text{all real numbers greater than 0}
\]
