Step 1 :First, observe that the function is an exponential function with a negative coefficient, which means it will be decreasing and always negative.
Step 2 :Since the function is always negative, the range of the function will only include negative numbers.
Step 3 :As x approaches positive infinity, the function will approach 0 from the negative side, but it will never actually reach 0.
Step 4 :As x approaches negative infinity, the function will decrease without bound, meaning it can take on any large negative value.
Step 5 :Therefore, the range of the function is all negative real numbers, which can be written in interval notation as \(\boxed{(-\infty, 0)}\).
