Y = <span>b^x
when x = 1
y = b^1
y = b
Therefore, the value of b is the same as the value of y when x =1
From the graph,
When x = 1, y = 0.5
Therefore, b = 0.5
To confirm this
From the graph,
When x = -1, y = 2
Since </span>y = b^x<span>
2 = </span>b^-1
2 = 1/b
2b = 1
b = 0.5
When x = -2, y = 4
Since y = b^x
4 = b^-2
4 = 1/(b^2)
b^2 = 1/4
b = √(1/4)
b = 1/2
b = 0.5
Therefore, it is conformed that b = 0.5
-18-(-12)=-6
Since there is two negative sign, it turns into positive meaning the -12 becomes positive 12 and the -18 stays same. So -18+12=-6 because 18 is bigger than 12 and it's negative so the final answer should be negative.
Hint: when you see two negative sign just turn them into plus sign.
