What I Need to Know
In this learning module, you will know more about the domain and range. These two
concepts are always included in the study of functions. Identifying the domain of the
function will help you to determine if the function will exist in a particular value. The
domain of a function is always associated with the possible inputs for a function to
exist, while the range is associated with outputs after substituting the possible
inputs to the unknown variable.
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is hoped to answer the
questions, “Why domain and range are important?” and “How can I determine the
domain and range of an exponential function?”. It is here to help you master finding
the domain and range of an exponential function.

Lesson
Domain and Range of
1 Exponential Functions
For you to begin this module, you need to assess your knowledge of the basic
skills in finding the domain and range of a function. From your previous lessons in
Math, you already encountered the domain and range of functions. Your acquired
knowledge and skill will help you understand easily how to find the domain and
range of an exponential function. Seek the assistance of your teacher if you
encounter any difficulty.
What’s In
Recall that the domain of a function is the set of all allowable values of 𝑥, commonly
known as the independent variable or possible inputs of the function.
The range of a function is the set of output values commonly known as the
dependent variable when all x-values in the domain are evaluated into the function.
This means that you need to find the domain first to describe the range.
The following will help you to recall how to find the domain and range of a function.
1. 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 3
Solution:
Domain Range
Set Notation {𝑥|𝑥 ∈ ℝ } {𝑦|𝑦 ∈ ℝ }
Interval Notation (−∞, +∞) (−∞, +∞)
2. 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 2
Solution:
This is a quadratic function, like the linear function any real number can be
substituted to x to get an output. You also learned that the graph of a quadratic
5
function is a parabola that opens upward or downward. Therefore, it has a
minimum or a maximum point called the vertex of the parabola.
The given 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 2 is a parabola opening upward with vertex at (0, 2), and so
lowest possible value of the function is 2. That means that the range of the
function is all real numbers greater than 2.
Domain Range
Set Notation {𝑥|𝑥 ∈ ℝ } {𝑦|𝑦 𝜖 ℝ, 𝑦 ≥ 2}
Interval Notation (−∞, +∞) [2, +∞)
2
3. 𝑦 = 𝑥+3
Solution:
2
Because the function 𝑦 = 𝑥+3 will never be zero, you need to exclude 0 from the
range. That means the range is all real numbers except 0.
Domain Range
Set Notation {𝑥|𝑥 𝜖 ℝ, 𝑥 ≠ −3 } {𝑦|𝑦 𝜖 ℝ, 𝑦 ≠ 0 }
Interval Notation (−∞, −3) ∪ (−3, +∞) (−∞, 0) ∪ (0, +∞)
3. 𝑦 = √𝑥 + 5
Solution:
The given is a radical function also known as the square root function. The
domain of a radical function is any 𝑥 value for which the radicand (the value
inside the radical symbol) is not negative. If the radicand has a negative value the
roots or the solution are imaginary roots or no real roots. Thus, it is not allowed
in the domain of the function to have a negative value inside the radical sign.
Since, inside the radical symbol is 𝑥 + 5 the domain of the function is a set of all
possible values which are greater than or equal to -5.
Likewise, the value of the function at its domain is a all real numbers which
means the range is all real numbers.
Domain Range
Set Notation {𝑥|𝑥 𝜖 ℝ, 𝑥 ≥ −5 } {𝑦|𝑦 𝜖 ℝ }
Interval Notation [−5, +∞) (−∞, +∞)

Notes to the Teacher
Remind the students that to find the domain of the functions they need
to avoid zero (0) value in the denominator of a fraction, or negative values
inside the square root sign. Moreover, do mention to them that the
domain of the polynomial functions which includes linear, quadratic or
any polynomial function of degree 𝑛 is always the set of real numbers.
Tell them also that the range of a function is the spread of possible y-
values (minimum y-value to maximum y-value) and it can be computed
by substituting different x-values into the expression for y to see what is
happening. (Ask yourself: Is y always positive? Always negative? Or
maybe not equal to certain values?). Finally, make sure you look
for minimum and maximum values of y because it is very important to
find the range of the function.
What’s New
Complete the table of values of the exponential function. Then, draw its graph in
the given coordinate plane.

What is It
In the activity that you have done, were you able to determine the possible values of
x? How about the range of the given function? You will find whether your answers
are correct as you go through the next session of this module.
The domain of a function is the set of input values that are used for the independent
variable. The range of a function is the set of output values for the dependent
variable. For any exponential function, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑏 𝑥 the domain is the set of all real
numbers. The range, however, is bounded by the horizontal asymptote of the graph
of 𝑓(𝑥).
9
Example 1: Find the domain and range of the function 𝑦 = 3𝑥+2
Solution:
Look at the graph of the function.
The function is defined for all real numbers. So, the domain of the function is a set
of real numbers. As 𝑥 extends to approach positive infinity (+∞), the value of the
function also extends to +∞, and as 𝑥 extends to approach negative infinity (−∞), the
function approaches the x-axis but never touches it. Therefore, the range of the
function is a set of real positive numbers greater than 0 or {𝑦|𝑦 𝜖 ℝ, 𝑦 > 0 }.
Thus, the domain and range of the given function is given below and can be written
as:
Domain Range
Set Notation {𝑥|𝑥 ∈ ℝ } {𝑦|𝑦 𝜖 ℝ, 𝑦 > 0 }
Interval Notation (−∞, +∞) (0, +∞)
1 2𝑥
Example 2: Find the domain and range of the function 𝑦 = (4)
Solution:
Look at the graph on the next page in the coordinate plane.
10
The function is defined for all real numbers. So, the domain of the function is the set
of real numbers.
As x tends to approach +∞, the value of the function tends to approach zero, and
the graph approaches the x-axis but never touches it. As x tends to approach −∞,
the function also tends to −∞. Therefore, the range of the function is the set of real
positive numbers greater than 0 or {𝑦|𝑦 𝜖 ℝ, 𝑦 > 0 }.
Domain Range
{𝑥|𝑥 ∈ ℝ }
Set Notation {𝑦|𝑦 𝜖 ℝ, 𝑦 > 0 }
Interval Notation (−∞, +∞) (0, +∞)
11
In cases of exponential functions where 𝑃(𝑥) is linear, in which case,𝑏𝑝(𝑥) will always
be defined for any value of x. Thus, the domain of an exponential function is the set
of real numbers or ℝ. For the range, note that 𝑏𝑝(𝑥) > 0 for any values of x. Hence,
the range of an exponential function will depend on a and h.
Solution:
The domain of the function is the set of real numbers since 𝑓 (𝑥) = 3𝑥 is defined for
any real number x. It means that any value of 𝑥 from the set of real numbers can be
substituted to variable 𝑥. Note that any power of 3 is always positive. Hence, the
range is (0, +∞).
Domain Range
{𝑥|𝑥 ∈ ℝ }
Set Notation {𝑦|𝑦 𝜖 ℝ, 𝑦 > 0 }
Interval Notation (−∞, +∞) (0, +∞)
Solution:
The domain of the function is the set of real numbers, because 𝑃(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 1 and it is
linear. Also, in the given function you may observe that 𝑎 > 0 (𝑎 = 1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 = 2) and
ℎ = −2, hence the range of the function is equal to (ℎ, +∞).
Domain Range
{𝑥|𝑥 ∈ ℝ }
Set Notation {𝑦|𝑦 𝜖 ℝ, 𝑦 > −2 }
Interval Notation (−∞, +∞) (−2, +∞)
Solution:
The domain of the function is the set of real numbers because 𝑃 (𝑥) = 𝑥 − 1 and it is
1
linear. Also, in the given function you may observe that 𝑎 < 0 (𝑎 = −2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 = 2) and
ℎ = 3, hence the range of the function is equal to (−∞, ℎ ).
