Nino, this is the solution to the step 2:
Let's recall that any non-zero real number raised to the power of zero is one, therefore:
• g (0) = 1.5 (0.5) ^0
,
• g (0) = 1.5 * 1
,
• g (0) = 1.5
The initial value of the reflected function is 1.5
For x = 1, we have:
g (1) = 1.5 (0.5)
g (1) = 0.75
For x = 2, this is the reflected function:
g (2) = 1.5 (0.5)²
g (2) = 1.5 * 0.25
g (2) = 0.375
And for x = 3, this is the result:
g (3) = 1.5 (0.5)³
g (3) = 1.5 * 0.125
g (3) = 0.1875
