Respuesta :

Given:

The two exponential functions are shown in the given table.

To find:

The correct conclusion about the functions f(x) and g(x).

Solution:

The given functions are:

[tex]f(x)=2^x[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^x[/tex]

The function g(x) can be written as:

[tex]g(x)=\dfrac{1}{2^x}[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=2^{-x}[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=f(-x)[/tex]

It means the graphs of f(x) and g(x) are reflections over the y-axis. So, option B is correct.

Since [tex]g(x)\neq -f(x)[/tex], therefore the functions f(x) and g(x) are not the reflections over the x-axis. So, option A is incorrect.

The function f(x) is an increasing function because the base of the exponent is [tex]2>1[/tex]. The function g(x) is a decreasing function because the base of the exponent is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}<1[/tex]. So, option C is incorrect.

At x=0 the value of f(x) is 1 and the value of g(x) is also 1. It means the functions has same initial values. So, option D is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

We can conclude that g(x) is a reflection over the y-axis of f(x).

How to find the transformation that relates the two functions?

The two functions are:

  • f(x) = 2^x
  • g(x) = (1/2)^x

You can see the graph of these functions at the end of the answer.

You can also notice that g(x) can be written as:

g(x) = (1/2)^x = 2^(-x) = f(-x)

Then this is a reflection over the y-axis, thing that you can also see in the graph below.

So the correct option is:

"The functions f(x) and g(x) are reflections over the y-axis."
