the graph of f(x) = 1/2 (2.5)x and its reflection across the x-axis, g(x), are shown. what is the range of g(x)? all real numbers all real numbers less than 0 all real numbers greater than 0 all real numbers less than or equal to 0

Answer:

The correct option is 2. The range of g(x) is all real numbers less than 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)^x[/tex]

If a graph reflected across x axis, then

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow(x,-y)[/tex]

The function f(x) reflected across x-axis, so

[tex]g(x)=-f(x)[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=-\frac{1}{2}(2.5)^x[/tex]

It is an exponential function.

[tex]g(x)\rightarrow -\infty\text{ as }x\rightarrow \infty[/tex]

[tex]g(x)\rightarrow 0\text{ as }x\rightarrow -\infty[/tex]

Since the value of g(x) lies between [tex]-\infty[/tex] and 0, therefore the range of g(x) is all real numbers less than 0. Option 2 is correct.
