Math Problem Statement

Evaluate each function at the indicated value: f(4), g(-2), h(-3).

Solution

The image contains three mathematical functions that need to be evaluated at specific values. Let's solve each one step by step.

a. f(x)=1.4e3x0.8f(x) = 1.4e^{3x} - 0.8, and we need to find f(4)f(4):

f(4)=1.4e3(4)0.8f(4) = 1.4e^{3(4)} - 0.8

b. g(x)=2.14x+3+1.4g(x) = 2.1 \cdot 4^{-x+3} + 1.4, and we need to find g(2)g(-2):

g(2)=2.14(2)+3+1.4=2.142+3+1.4g(-2) = 2.1 \cdot 4^{-(-2)+3} + 1.4 = 2.1 \cdot 4^{2+3} + 1.4

c. h(x)=5ex3h(x) = -5e^{x-3}, and we need to find h(3)h(-3):

h(3)=5e33=5e6h(-3) = -5e^{-3-3} = -5e^{-6}

I'll calculate the values now.Here are the evaluated values for the given functions:

a. f(4)227855.9080f(4) \approx 227855.9080

b. g(2)=2151.8000g(-2) = 2151.8000

c. h(3)0.0124h(-3) \approx -0.0124

Would you like more details on any step, or have any questions?

Here are some related questions to explore further:

  1. What is the impact of exponentials on the growth of functions like f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x)?
  2. How do logarithmic transformations affect inverse problems in exponential functions?
  3. What is the role of the base in exponential functions like g(x)g(x)?
  4. How does negative exponentiation affect the function h(x)h(x)?
  5. How are exponential functions used in real-world applications, such as population growth or decay?

Tip: When dealing with exponential expressions, rounding errors can grow quickly, so keep as many decimals as possible until the final result.
