Answer 1

The domain of f(x) = √x is [0, ∞) and the domain of g(x) = 2^x is (−∞, ∞).
The range of f(x) = √x is [0, ∞) and the range of g(x) = 2^x is (0, ∞).

So, Alexa is incorrect because both the domain and the range are different.
(Reason: √x is only defined for x ≥ 0 and produces 0, while 2^x is defined for all real x and is always positive but never 0.)
