Question

the graph shows an exponential function

both axises range from -10 to 10.

a dot is place at 3, 2. it curves upwards into the top left quadrant. it intersects at the points 1, 3. 0, 4. -1, 5, and it almost intersects at -2, 6 but not quite. it does also intersect at -3, 8, though.

which inequality represents the domain of the part shown?
X is less than or equal to 3
Y is greater than 0
X is less than 0
Y is greater than or equal to 2.

To determine the appropriate inequalities representing the domain of the part of the exponential function shown in the graph, we can analyze the information provided:

1. The dot is placed at (3, 2), indicating that the curve starts there and continues to rise as it moves left.
2. The curve intersects with the y-axis at several points: (1, 3), (0, 4), (-1, 5), and nearing (-2, 6), but definitely intersects at (-3, 8).
3. The graph appears to be in the upper part of the coordinate plane and curving upwards into the top left quadrant, meaning the y-values are positive.

Based on this information, we can make the following assessments:

- Since the curve starts at x = 3 and extends to the left without bound, the inequality for x would be \( X \leq 3 \).

- Given that the y-values begin at 2 when x equals 3 and go upwards as x decreases, this implies \( Y \geq 2 \).

Thus, we can summarize the inequalities for the domain of the part shown:

- **X is less than or equal to 3** (i.e., \( X \leq 3 \)).
- **Y is greater than or equal to 2** (i.e., \( Y \geq 2 \)).

So the correct inequalities to represent the domain of the part shown are:
\[ X \leq 3 \] and \( Y \geq 2 \).
