Question

How are the functions f(x)=16^x and g(x)=16^(1/2)x related? The output values of g(x) are one-half the output values of f(x) for the same value of x. The output values of g(x) are one-quarter the output values of f(x) for the same value of x. The output values of g(x) are the square root of the output values of f(x) for the same value of x. The output values of g(x) are the square of the output values of f(x) for the same value of x.

Answer 1

f(x) =16ˣ and g(x) = 16⁽ˣ/₂⁾

Since 16 = 2⁴, then we can write:

f(x) =2⁽⁴ˣ⁾ and g(x) = 2⁽⁴ˣ/₂⁾ = 2²ˣ

for x = 1 f(x) = 2⁴ = 16
for x = 1 g(x) = 2² = 4
(√16 = 4)

for x = 2 f(x) = 2⁸ = 256
for x = 2 g(x) = 2⁴ =16
(√256) = 16

for x = 3 f(x) = 2¹² = 4096
for x = 1 g(x) = 2⁶ = 64
(√4096 = 64)

We notice that:
The output values of g(x) are the square root of the output values of f(x) for the same value of x.
