Select all the correct answers. Exponential function fis represented by the table. x 0 1 2 4 1) -12 -4 0 2 Function g is represented by the equation. g(x) -12(1/2)^x Which statements are true about the two functions?

Respuesta :

From the given table, we can note that function f(x) increases as x increases and becomes positive.

On the other hand, g(x) decreases as x decreases and become negative. Then options 1, 2 and 4 are false.

On the other hand, the y-intercept is equal to -12 because f(0)= -12 and g(0)=-12, then option 5 is true.

Finally, lets find the x-intercept.

In the first case, from the table, the x-intercept is f(2)=0, that is x=2.

In the second case, we need to compute

[tex]0=-12(\frac{1}{3})^x[/tex]

which implies that x must be + infinity because

[tex]-12(\frac{1}{3})^{-\infty}=-12(\frac{1}{3^{\infty}})\longrightarrow0[/tex]

then option 3 is false.
