Use the piecewise function to evaluate points f(–1), f(2), and f(12).A) f(–1) = 3, f(2) = 6, and f(12) = 41

B)

f(–1) = 2, f(2) = 1, and f(12) = 41

C)

f(–1) = 3, f(2) = 1, and f(12) = 41

D)

f(–1) = 2, f(2) = 6, and f(12) = 41

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
