Answer

The range of the function is \((-2, +\infty)\), which is \(\boxed{(-2, +\infty)}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the exponential function \(f(x)=4^{1-x}-2\)

Step 2 :Substitute \(x = 0\) into the function to find the y-intercept, which gives \(y = 2\). So, the coordinates of the y-intercept are \(\boxed{(0, 2)}\)

Step 3 :Solve the equation \(f(x) = 0\) to find the x-intercept. However, the x-intercept also has a complex part, which means the function does not cross the x-axis at a real number. Therefore, there is no real x-intercept for this function. So, the coordinates of the x-intercept is \(\boxed{\text{None}}\)

Step 4 :The mathematical domain of the function is all real numbers, which is \(\boxed{(-\infty, +\infty)}\)

Step 5 :The equation of the horizontal asymptote is \(y = -2\), which is \(\boxed{y = -2}\)

Step 6 :The range of the function is \((-2, +\infty)\), which is \(\boxed{(-2, +\infty)}\)
