Math Problem Statement
Use a calculator to evaluate the function at the indicated values. Round your answers to three decimals. h(x) = eβ3x; h
1 3
, h(1.5), h(β1), h(βπ) h
1 3
= Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. h(1.5)
h(β1)
h(βπ)
Solution
import numpy as np
Define the function h(x) = e^(-3x)
def h(x): return np.exp(-3 * x)
Calculate h(x) for the given values
values = { "h(1/3)": h(1/3), "h(1.5)": h(1.5), "h(-1)": h(-1), "h(-Ο)": h(-np.pi) }
Round the results to three decimal places
rounded_values = {key: round(val, 3) for key, val in values.items()} rounded_values{'h(1/3)': 0.368, 'h(1.5)': 0.011, 'h(-1)': 20.086, 'h(-Ο)': 12391.648}{'h(1/3)': 0.368, 'h(1.5)': 0.011, 'h(-1)': 20.086, 'h(-Ο)': 12391.648}successHere are the rounded values for the function :
Do you want further explanation or details on how these values were computed?
Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- How does the value of change as becomes more positive or negative?
- What is the general effect of a negative exponent on the behavior of exponential functions?
- How does the base influence the properties of compared to other exponential bases?
- How would the graph of look for ?
- Can the function ever reach a value of 0? Why or why not?
Tip: When rounding intermediate results for exponential functions, always ensure the precision aligns with the context of the problem!
