You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the domain, the range, the exact value of the intercepts and the asymptote of y=5^(x+1)-2
-----
Domain: All Real Numbers
----
Range:: Y >= -2
----
x-intercept = ?
Let y = 0 and solve for x:
5^(x+1) = 2
(x+1) = log(2)/log(5)
x+1 = 0.4307
x = -0.5693
==================
y-intercept = ?
Let x = 0 and solve for "y":
y= 5^(0+1)-2 = 3
-------------------
Asymptote:
y = -2
