What is \[4^{1} =?\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

plug in the given x values in the function, your output will be the y value

OpenStudy (domebotnos):

wait but look at the 4)^-x why is there only one ) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's a mistake. It should read \[g(x)=4^{-x}=(4)^{-x}\] makes no difference.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

It's probably just a typo. Notice that at x = -2, g(-2) = 16 If \(g(x) = 4^{-x} \), then at x = -2, \(g(-2) = 4^{-(-2)} = 4^2 = 16\) Also, \(g(x) = 4^{-x}\) works with x = 0 to give g(0) = 1. Just ignore the right parenthesis.

ok so let me do the math real quick
