Answer

Domain: $(-\infty, \infty)$ Range: $(0, \infty)$ Horizontal Asymptote: $y=0$

Work Step by Step

To graph the following exponential function we will first graph its base (the parent function) and apply a transformation. As we know the graph of $f(x)=e^x$ is the black dotted graph in the image. And we can get $f(x)=e^{x-2}$ by shifting the parent function to the right by $2$ units. So finally we will have the blue graph in the image. As we have no restrictions domain of the function is $(-\infty, \infty)$. It has range of $(0, \infty)$ And a horizontal asymptote of $y=0$
