Answer

(a) $(-\infty,\infty)$. (b) See graph (c) $(0,\infty)$, $y=0$. (d) $ f^{-1}(x)=log_2x+3$. (e) $(0,\infty)$, $(-\infty,\infty)$. (f) See graph.

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the domain of $f$ as $(-\infty,\infty)$. (b) See graph for $f(x)=2^{x-3}$ (c) We can determine the range of $f$ as $(0,\infty)$, asymptote(s) as $y=0$. (d) $f(x)=2^{x-3} \longrightarrow y=2^{x-3} \longrightarrow x=2^{y-3} \longrightarrow y=log_2x+3 \longrightarrow f^{-1}(x)=log_2x+3$. (e) We can find the domain of $f^{-1}$ as $(0,\infty)$, range as $(-\infty,\infty)$. (f) See graph.
