Answer:

The range is [tex](0,\infty)[/tex]  (in interval notation).

The range is [tex]0<y<\infty)[/tex] or [tex]y>0[/tex] (in inequality notation).

The range is all real numbers greater than 0  (in words).

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5^{x}[/tex] we get close to 0 but will never be 0.  [tex]5^{x}[/tex] will also never be negative.

[tex]5^{x}[/tex] is positive for any real input [tex]x[/tex].

Here is a table of values to help try to convince you we are only ever going to get positive outcomes.

[tex]x[/tex]  |  [tex]5^x[/tex]

-4                 5^(-4)=1/625

-3                 5^(-3)=1/125

-2                 5^(-2)=1/25

-1                  5^(-1)=1/5

0                  5^0=1

1                   5^1=5

2                  5^2=25

3                  5^3=125

4                  5^4=625

You can see the y's are increasing as you increase the x value.

Even if you plug in really left numbers on the number like -200 you will still get a positive number like [tex]5^{-200}=\frac{1}{5^{200}}[/tex]. This number will be really close to 0.  You can go more left of -200 and the outcome will be even closer to 0.

I'm just trying to convince you on the left side the y's will approach 0 but never cross the x-axis on the right side the numbers keep getting larger and larger.

The range is [tex](0,\infty)[/tex]  (in interval notation).

The range is [tex]0<y<\infty)[/tex] or [tex]y>0[/tex] (in inequality notation).

The range is all real numbers greater than 0  (in words).

You can also look at the graph and see that the y's for this equation only exist for number y's greater than 0.  You only see the graph above the x-axis.

Answer:

The range is f(x) = all real values above 0.

In interval notation it is (0, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

5^x can have any value above 0 . It cannot be negative or 0.
