Answer:

(1/2, ∞ ). This corresponds to Answer B

Explanation:

Important: enclose that negative exponent (-2/3) inside parentheses:

1/3e^(x- 2/3) + 1/2

and also that coefficient, 1/3:

(1/3)e^(x- 2/3) + 1/2

The range of the exponential function y = e^x is (0, ∞ ); that is, y is always positive, never zero or negative.

The function of that "1/2" is to shift the entire graph 1/2 unit up.

Thus, the range (0, ∞ ) becomes (1/2, ∞ ). This corresponds to Answer B.
