@phi

Answer 3

did u plug in the values and check?

Answer 4

first.. plug in the values of the first values in the table in the first choice..

Answer 5

I would use the idea that any number to the zero power is 1
in other words, \( 2^0=1\)
and \( (\frac{1}{2})^0=1 \)
and so on...
I would replace x with 0 in each of the choices, and try to simplify
can you do that ?

Answer 6

options a and b dont work. im trying c and d now

Answer 7

can you show what you did for the first choice?

Answer 8

the first choice is
\[ 3(2)^x \]
that means 3 times 2 to the x power.
replace x with 0 so that it looks like this:
\[ 3 \cdot 2^0\]
what is 2^0 ?

Answer 9

ya..why won't a work @Axbeauty ?

Answer 10

remember order of operations: first do exponents (before multiplying)

Answer 11

oh.

Answer 12

would option A be my answer?

Answer 13

if we put in 0 for x, (and remember to do the exponent part first) the choices simplify to
3*1
2*1
3*1
2*1

or simply
3
2
3
2

the table shows for x=0 we want 3
so that means only choice a or c are possible

Answer 14

so you want to look at choice a and choice c

try x=1 in choice a
can you simplify
\[ 3 (2)^1 \]
?

Answer 15

=6

Answer 16

yes, you get 3 * 2 which is 6
what does the table say we want for x=1 ?

Answer 17

3/2?

Answer 18

yes. and 6 is not 3/2
so that means choice a is not correct.

by process of elimination , choice c is the answer.
but we can double check.

Answer 19

choice c with x=1 is
\[ 3 \left( \frac{1}{2}\right)^1 \]

Answer 20

first do the exponent part first: (½)^1 is just ½
so you have
3 * ½
if you multiply 3 *½ you get 3/2
