Answer 1

i need help with the 64(.5^x) parts

Answer 2

Is the 'x' in the second part an exponent, or are you multiplying 0.5*x? If it is an exponent, it is just telling you that the base (in this case, 0.5) is being multiplied by itself some number (x) times. Thus, 0.5^2 (0.5 squared) = 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25, 0.5^3 = 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.125
