Exercise 65 Page 477

Substitute 1, 2, and 3 for x.

20, 10, 5

Practice makes perfect

We are given a function, and asked to evaluate it for the given domain. Domain: {1, 2, 3 }This means that we should substitute 1, 2, and 3 for x in the given function and then evaluate. Let's start with 1.

y=40(1/2)^x
y=40(1/2)^1
y=40* 1/2
y=40/2
y=20

Now, let's do the same thing for the rest of the values.

x 40(1/2)^x y=40(1/2)^x
1 40(1/2)^1 20
2 40(1/2)^2 10
3 40(1/2)^3 5
