Question

Find f(-2) for f(x) = 2(4)x . will give brainliest for correct answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

This questions asks use to find what f(x) or y is, when x is equal to -2.

So, substitute -2 in for x in the equation.

f(x)=2(4)^x

f(-2)=2(4)^-2

Evaluate the exponent. Negative exponents follow this rule:

b^-x= 1/b^x

We have 4^-2. This will become 1/4^2 or 1/16

f(-2)=2(1/16)

Multiply

f(-2)=2/16

This fraction can be simplified. Both the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) can be divided by 2.

f(-2)=2/2 / 16/2

f(-2)= 1/8

The correct choice is D. 1/8
