Question

identifying characteristics of the exponential function \\(y = b^x\\) (\\(b > 1\\))

the domain of an exponential function is dropdown. the range of an exponential function is dropdown.

Explanation:

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

$$ \text{Range} = (0, \infty) $$

Answer:

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