Geraldine is asked to explain the limits on the range of an exponential equation using the function f(x) = 2x. She makes these two statements:1. As x increases infinitely, the y-values are continually doubled for each single increase in x.2. As x decreases infinitely, the y-values are continually halved for each single decrease in x.

A
Statement 1 is incorrect because the y-values are increased by 2, not doubled.
B
Statement 2 is incorrect because the y-values are doubled, not halved.
C
The conclusion is incorrect because the range is limited to the set of integers.
D
The conclusion is incorrect because the range is limited to the set of positive real numbers.

A
y = 32,000(1.08)x
B
y = 32,000(0.08)x
C
y = 34,560(1.08)x
