Question

Complete the missing parts of thetable for the following function,y = (*)*xlike-2 -1y [?] 70 1[ ] 12131343

Answer 1

We have to find the missing parts of the table for the function:

`y=((1)/(7))^x`

This will be done by replacing each x-value onto the function.

For x=-2

We obtain:

`y=((1)/(7))^(-2)=((7)/(1))^2=7^2=49`

This means that for x=-2, the value of y is 49.

For x=0

As every number (except 0) elevated to 0 is 1, we have

`y=((1)/(7))^0=1`

This means that for x=0, the value of y is 1.

For x=2

`y=((1)/(7))^2=(1^2)/(7^2)=(1)/(49)`

This means that for x=2, the value of y is 1/49.
