Assuming the function is f%28x%29+=+4%2A%285%29%5Ex, then we have this graph

+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+2%2C+-2%2C+10%2C+0%2C4%2A%285%29%5Ex%29+

from it we can see that

* it is increasing on the ENTIRE domain. Basically it is always increasing

* it looks like it crosses y = 0, aka the x axis, at some point, but it never does because this is the horizontal asymptote. So the range is y%3E0

* the y-intercept is (0,4). The green graph crosses the y axis at 4.

* the domain is the set of all real numbers (the graph stretches from left to right with no holes, gaps, jumps, etc)

So the answers are: C, E, F.



The other statements are false.

IF choice A said "range is y > 0", then A would be true. However it doesn't.
Choice B is the opposite of C, so it has to be false since C is true.
You can only have one y-intercept, so if E is true, then D has to be false.
