### Understanding Exponential Functions

#### Drag and Drop Activity: Identifying Domain and Range

**Problem Statement:**
The graph of the function \( y = 0.125 \left(\frac{1}{9}\right)^x \) is shown below. 

#### Graph Description:
The graph depicts the exponential function \( y = 0.125 \left(\frac{1}{9}\right)^x \) on a coordinate plane with \( x \) and \( y \) axes ranging from -5 to 5. The curve starts at positive values when \( x \) is negative and approaches \( y = 0 \) as \( x \) increases. The function never crosses or touches the x-axis, indicating that \( y \) approaches zero but is never exactly zero.

#### Choices for Domain and Range:
- \( 0 < y < \infty \)
- \( y < 0 \)
- \( x > 0 \)
- \( x < 0 \)
- \( -\infty < y < \infty \)
- all real numbers

**Question:**
What is the domain and range of the function?

**Answer:**
- **Domain:** All real numbers, \( -\infty < x < \infty \)
- **Range:** \( 0 < y < \infty \)

To complete the exercise, drag and drop the appropriate answer choices to the corresponding lines under Domain and Range.

##### Explanation:
- The **domain** of the function consists of all possible values of \( x \). Since the function \( y = 0.125 \left(\frac{1}{9}\right)^x \) is defined for all real numbers, the domain is \( -\infty < x < \infty \).
- The **range** of the function consists of all possible values of \( y \). Observing the graph, \( y \) takes any positive value and approaches zero as \( x \) approaches infinity but never becomes zero or negative. Hence, the range is \( 0 < y < \infty \).

By understanding these concepts, you'll be able to identify the domain and range of similar exponential functions.
