Exercise 20 Page 278

Substitute 32 for x.

2

Practice makes perfect

Using the function y, we want to evaluate for the given value, x= 32. To do this, we need to substitute 32 for x in each instance of the x-variable.

y=1/4(4)^x
y=1/4(4)^(32)
â–¼
Evaluate right-hand side
y=1/4(4)^(12(3))
y=1/4( 4^(12) )^3

a^(12)=sqrt(a)

y=1/4 ( sqrt(4) )^3
y=1/4(2)^3
y=1/4(8)
y=8/4
y=2
