1. Exponential Functions
Sign In
Substitute - 2, 0, and 12 for x.
0.375, 1.5, ≈ 2.12
We are given a function and asked to evaluate it for some given values.
x=- 2, 0, 1/2
x= - 2
a^(- m)=1/a^m
Calculate power
a = 4* a/4
Multiply fractions
a/b=.a /2./.b /2.
Calculate quotient
Now let's do the same thing for the rest of the values.
| x | Evaluation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| - 2 | 1.5(2)^(- 2) | 0.375 |
| 0 | 1.5(2)^0 | 1.5 |
| 1/2 | 1.5(2)^(12) | ≈ 2.12 |
