Math Problem Statement

The function h(x) = 2^x is defined for each x-value in the table. Find h(x) for each x-value in the table.

Solution

The function h(x)=2xh(x) = 2^x is defined for each xx-value in the table. The table displays correct calculations for each given xx-value:

  1. For x=1x = -1: h(1)=21=12h(-1) = 2^{-1} = \frac{1}{2}

  2. For x=0x = 0: h(0)=20=1h(0) = 2^0 = 1

  3. For x=1x = 1: h(1)=21=2h(1) = 2^1 = 2

  4. For x=2x = 2: h(2)=22=4h(2) = 2^2 = 4

  5. For x=3x = 3: h(3)=23=8h(3) = 2^3 = 8

Each calculation in the table aligns with the function h(x)=2xh(x) = 2^x, providing the results 12,1,2,4,\frac{1}{2}, 1, 2, 4, and 88 for the respective xx-values.

Would you like more details on exponential functions or have any specific questions?

Here are some related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What would the values be if the function were h(x)=3xh(x) = 3^x instead?
  2. How does the graph of h(x)=2xh(x) = 2^x look compared to a linear function?
  3. How does h(x)=2xh(x) = 2^x behave as xx approaches negative infinity?
  4. What are some real-life examples where exponential functions like h(x)=2xh(x) = 2^x are used?
  5. How would you calculate h(x)h(x) if xx were a non-integer, like x=1.5x = 1.5?

Tip: Exponential functions with a base greater than 1 grow faster than linear and polynomial functions as xx increases.
