For the function g(x)= (1/4)^x find the function value at g(-1/2)

Question

For the function g(x) =(1/4)^x

 

Find the function value at g(- 1/2)

 

g(-1/2) =   ?

 

Answer 1

g(x) = (1/4)^x

g(-1/2) = (1/4)^-1/2

g(-1/2) = (1/2)^-1         take square root

g(-1/2) = 2                 convert to positive exponent
