Answer:
f(x) = -0.5x - 2;
At x = 0, f(x) = -2
At x = 1, f(x) = -2.5
At x = 2, f(x) = -3
At x = 3, f(x) = -3.5
At x = 4, f(x) = -4
g(x) = (2^(x - 1)) - 5;
At x = 0, g(x) = -4.5
At x = 1, g(x) = -4
At x = 2, g(x) = -3
At x = 3, g(x) = -1
At x = 4, g(x) = 3
Explanation:
First equation;
f(x) = -0.5x - 2
f(0) = -0.5(0) - 2 = -2
f(1) = -0.5(1) - 2 = -2.5
f(2) = -0.5(2) - 2 = -3
f(3) = -0.5(3) - 2 = -3.5
f(4) = -0.5(4) - 2 = -4
For the second equation;
g(x) = (2^(x - 1)) - 5
g(0) = (2^(0 - 1)) - 5 = 2^(-1) - 5 = -4.5
g(1) = (2^(1 - 1)) - 5 = 2^(0) - 5 = -4
g(2) = (2^(2 - 1)) - 5 = 2 - 5 = -3
g(3) = (2^(3 - 1)) - 5 = 4 - 5 = -1
g(4) = (2^(4 - 1)) - 5 = 3
