Let's analyze the given information about the exponential equation \( v(s) = 19(2)^s \).
-
Domain (s-values):
- The variable \( s \) represents the number of shares. In real-world scenarios, you cannot have a negative number of shares, so \( s \) must be greater than or equal to 0. Therefore, the domain is: \[ \text{Domain: } s \geq 0 \]
-
Range (v-values):
- The function \( v(s) = 19(2)^s \) describes an exponential growth model. As \( s \) increases, \( v(s) \) also increases without bound. Even when \( s = 0 \), \( v(0) = 19(2)^0 = 19 \).
- Thus, the minimum value of \( v \) is 19 when \( s = 0 \), and as \( s \) approaches infinity, \( v \) approaches infinity as well. Therefore, the range of \( v(s) \) is: \[ \text{Range: } v \geq 19 \]
-
Evaluating the statements:
- "The range (v-values) is all real but the domain (s-values) is all real numbers." - False (It's not all real for the range, as values are \( v \geq 19 \)).
- "The range (v-values) includes the values greater than (0 < v <= 10)." - False (The range starts at 19, so it doesn't include any values less than 19).
- "The domain (s-values) includes the values (s >= 0)." - True (This is correct since \( s \) cannot be negative).
- "The range (v-values) is all real numbers." - False (Again, because the function only takes on values greater than or equal to 19).
Based on this analysis, the only true statement is:
The domain (s-values) includes the values (s >= 0).
