For the function g(x)=3-8(1/4)^2-x

Reika [66]

Using function concepts, it is found that:

a) The y-intercept is y = 2.5.

b) The horizontal asymptote is x = 3.

c) The function is decreasing.

d) The domain is $(-\infty,\infty)$ and the range is $(-\infty,3)$ .
e) The graph is given at the end of the answer.

------------------------------------

The given function is:

$g(x) = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2-x}$

------------------------------------

Question a:

The y-intercept is g(0), thus:

$g(0) = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2-0} = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2} = 3 - \frac{8}{16} = 3 - 0.5 = 2.5$

The y-intercept is y = 2.5.

------------------------------------

Question b:

The horizontal asymptote is the limit of the function when x goes to infinity, if it exists.

$\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} g(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2-x} = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2+\infty} = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{\infty} = 3 - 8\frac{1^{\infty}}{4^{\infty}} = 3 -0 = 3$

--------------------------------------------------

$\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} g(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2-x} = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2-\infty} = 3 - 8\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{-\infty} = 3 - 8\times 4^{\infty} = 3 - \infty = -\infty$

Thus, the horizontal asymptote is x = 3.

--------------------------------------------------

Question c:

The limit of x going to infinity of the function is negative infinity, which means that the function is decreasing.

--------------------------------------------------

Question d:

Exponential function has no restrictions in the domain, so it is all real values, that is $(-\infty,\infty)$ .
From the limits in item c, the range is: $(-\infty,3)$

--------------------------------------------------

The sketching of the graph is given appended at the end of this answer.
