y is the geometric mean of the segment lengths.

y = √(4·1)

y = 2

_____

You can also get there by considering the similarity of the triangles:

short side / long side = y/4 = 1/y

What is the value of f(x)=2•2^x for f(-2)

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The value of f(-2) is 1/2 or it can be written as 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=2\cdot 2^x$

We have to find the value of f(-2).

Substitute x=-2 in the given function to find the value of f(-2).

$f(-2)=2\cdot 2^(-2)$

$f(-2)=2\cdot \frac{1}{2^(2)}$

$f(-2)=\frac{1}{2}$

$f(-2)=0.5$

Therefore the value of f(-2) is 1/2 or it can be written as 0.5.
