Q. What is the domain of this exponential function?y=5xChoices:(A) all real numbers(B) {x∣x>0}(C) {x∣x≤0}(D) {x∣x≥0}(E) {x∣x<0}
Understand domain of function: Understand what the domain of a function represents.The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.
Determine possible x-values: Determine the possible x-values for y=5x.Since 5x is defined for all real numbers (because any real number can be an exponent), the domain includes all real numbers.
Match domain to choices: Match the domain to the given choices.Since the domain includes all real numbers, the correct choice is (A) all real numbers.
