Hello,

1)
y=5x
Dom=R
Range=R
no asymptote

2)
y= log (5x)
Dom= \(R^{+}\)
asymptote: x=0 (vertical)

Answer:

1) For  \(y=5x\)

A)  Domain= \((-\infty,\infty) [ \left.\begin{matrix}x\end{matrix}\right|x\varepsilon \mathbb{R}]\)

B) Range= \((-\infty,\infty) [ \left.\begin{matrix}y\end{matrix}\right|y\varepsilon \mathbb{R}]\)

C) y-intercept = 0

D) Asymptote= No asymptote

2) For   \(y=log_5x\)

A)  Domain=Domain=  \((0,\infty) [ \left.\begin{matrix}x\end{matrix}\right|x>0]\)

B) Range= \((-\infty,\infty) [ \left.\begin{matrix}y\end{matrix}\right|y\varepsilon \mathbb{R}]\)

C) y-intercept =  None

D) Vertical Asymptote:
x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : \(y=5x\) and \(y=log_5x\)

Refer the graph attached.

1)  In equation (1)  \(y=5x\)

→The domain is the set of all possible values in which function is defined.  

y=5x is a linear polynomial defined on all real numbers.

Domain= \((-\infty,\infty) [ \left.\begin{matrix}x\end{matrix}\right|x\varepsilon \mathbb{R}]\)

→Range is the set of all values that function takes.

It also include all real numbers.

Range= \((-\infty,\infty) [ \left.\begin{matrix}y\end{matrix}\right|y\varepsilon \mathbb{R}]\)

→y-intercept- Value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

put x=0 in equation y=5x we get, y=0

Therefore, y-intercept = 0 (We can see in the graph also)

→An asymptote is a line that a curve approaches, but never touches.

Asymptote= No asymptote

2) Now in equation (2) \(y=log_5x\)

Domain=  \((0,\infty) [ \left.\begin{matrix}x\end{matrix}\right|x>0]\)

because log function is not defined in negative.

Range=  \((-\infty,\infty) [ \left.\begin{matrix}y\end{matrix}\right|y\varepsilon \mathbb{R}]\)

y-intercept - None

Vertical Asymptote:
x=0
