Question

guided practice
complete the table to find y-values for the exponential function y = 0.5(0.5)^x.
what is the value of 0.5(0.5)^{-1}?
type your answer and then click or tap done.
(table with x values -2, -1, 0, 1, 2; and corresponding y values for the function, with some filled and some blank)

Explanation:

Step1: Recuerda la propiedad de exponentes negativos

La propiedad de exponentes negativos es $a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^{n}}$, así que $(0.5)^{-1}=\frac{1}{0.5}$.

Step2: Calcula $(0.5)^{-1}$

Calculamos $\frac{1}{0.5}=2$.

Step3: Multiplica por 0.5

Ahora, calculamos $0.5\times(0.5)^{-1}=0.5\times2 = 1$.
