Can someone please tell me what the range is?

  y > -1.5 which is the same as y > -3/2

Explanation:

As x goes off to negative infinity, the term 3^x gets closer to 0.

So the expression 0.5*(3^x - 3) approaches 0.5*(0-3) = 0.5*(-3) = -1.5 = -3/2

The y value will never actually get to -1.5 because 3^x never actually reaches 0. It only gets closer and closer.

So the range is the set of possible y outputs such that y > -1.5 or y > -3/2

This means the horizontal asymptote is y = -3/2 or y = -1.5 which is the horizontal "electric fence" of sorts that the function curve gets closer to, but never touches.

b. would be the answer : )

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: add -16x to both sides.

16x−4y+−16x=64+−16x  

−4y=−16x+64

step 2: divide both sides by -4.

−4y /-4 = -16x + 64/-4

answer:   y=4x−16

hope i'm right
