Which ordered pairs lie on the graph of the exponential function f(x)=128(0.5)^x. choose all the correct answers

(0,1)

(1,64)

(3,16)

(8,0.5)

Answer 1

To determine the correct ordered pairs which will agree with the function, we can substitute values to the function and see whether it agree with each other. We do as follows:

(0,1)
f(x)=128(0.5)^0
f(x)=128

(1,64)
f(x)=128(0.5)^1
f(x) = 64 <--------CORRECT ANSWER

(3,16)
f(x)=128(0.5)^3
f(x) = 16 <--------CORRECT ANSWER

(8,0.5)
f(x)=128(0.5)^8
f(x) = 1/2

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
