Answer

(a) Domain: $(-\infty, +\infty)$; Range: $(0, +\infty)$ (b) $y$-intercept is $1$ (c) no symmtery

Work Step by Step

The graph pass the vertical-line test since all vertical lines will pass through the given graph at a maximum of one point only. (a) The graph covers the entire $x$ axis so the domain is $(-\infty, +\infty)$ The curve is above the $x$-axis and is asymptotic to the $x$-axis so its range is $(0, +\infty)$. (b) The graph does not cross the $x$-axis so it has no $x$-itnercept. The graph crosses the $y$ axis at $(0, 1)$ so it has a $y$-intercept of $1$ (c) The graph is not symmetric to the $x$-axis, $y$-axis, and the origin.
