Horizontal Asymptotes and Ranges of Exponential Functions

This video tutorial explains how to find the domain and range of exponential functions. It covers the general form of exponential functions and provides detailed examples to illustrate how to determine the domain and range. The video emphasizes that the domain of exponential functions is all real numbers, while the range depends on the value of 'a' and the horizontal asymptote 'd'. Several examples are provided to demonstrate these concepts in practice.
