Question

use - 2, - 1, 0, 1, and 2 for x and find the corresponding values of f(x) for the following exponential function. then, choose which graph represents the exponential function

f(x)=2^{(x + 1)}

now, choose which graph represents f(x)=2^{(x + 1)}

a.
b.
c.
d.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate \( f(x) \) for \( x = - 2 \)

Substitute \( x=-2 \) into \( f(x)=2^{(x + 1)} \).

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Step2: Calculate \( f(x) \) for \( x=-1 \)

Substitute \( x = - 1 \) into \( f(x)=2^{(x + 1)} \).

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Step3: Calculate \( f(x) \) for \( x = 0 \)

Substitute \( x = 0 \) into \( f(x)=2^{(x + 1)} \).

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Step4: Calculate \( f(x) \) for \( x = 1 \)

Substitute \( x = 1 \) into \( f(x)=2^{(x + 1)} \).

$$ LATEXBLOCK3 $$

Step5: Calculate \( f(x) \) for \( x = 2 \)

Substitute \( x = 2 \) into \( f(x)=2^{(x + 1)} \).

$$ LATEXBLOCK4 $$

The function \( y = 2^{(x + 1)} \) is an exponential growth function (since the base \( a=2>1 \)). When \( x=-1,y = 1 \); when \( x = 0,y=2 \); when \( x=1,y = 4 \); when \( x = 2,y=8 \)

Answer:

B.
