Q. What is the domain of this exponential function?\newliney=5xy = 5^x\newlineChoices:\newline(A) all real numbers\newline(B) {xx>0}\{x | x > 0\}\newline(C) {xx0}\{x | x \leq 0\}\newline(D) {xx0}\{x | x \geq 0\}\newline(E) {xx<0}\{x | x < 0\}
  1. Understand domain of function: Understand what the domain of a function represents.\newlineThe domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (xx-values) for which the function is defined.
  2. Determine possible xx-values: Determine the possible xx-values for y=5xy = 5^x.\newlineSince 5x5^x is defined for all real numbers (because any real number can be an exponent), the domain includes all real numbers.
  3. Match domain to choices: Match the domain to the given choices.\newlineSince the domain includes all real numbers, the correct choice is (A)(A) all real numbers.
