Given exponential function:
Let us obtain three points including the y-intercept so that we can plot the function y = f(x)
When x =0:
when x =1:
when x =2:
We have the points : (0, 1), (1, 1/5), and (2, 1/25)
Using these points, let us provide a sketch of the plot of y =f(x). We have the plot as shown below:
The figure is shown below
From the figure
Angle 150 degree and angle p forms angles on a straight
Since the sum of angles on a straight line equals 180 degrees
Hence
Solve for p in the equation
Hence, p = 30
From the figure
Angle p and angle q are vertically opposite angles
Since vertically opposite angles are equal then
Hence, q = 30
Applying the rule of angles on a straight line
This implies
Substitute q = 30 into the equation
Solve for w
Hence, w = 90
