Transcript text: Solve the given problem.
If $f(x)=4(2)^{x}$, find $f(4-a)$.
Solution
Solution Steps
To find \( f(4-a) \), we need to substitute \( 4-a \) into the function \( f(x) = 4(2)^x \). This involves replacing \( x \) with \( 4-a \) in the expression and simplifying the result.
Step 1: Substitute \(4-a\) into the Function
To find \( f(4-a) \), we substitute \( x = 4-a \) into the function \( f(x) = 4(2)^x \). This gives us:
\[
f(4-a) = 4 \cdot 2^{4-a}
\]
Step 2: Simplify the Expression
Next, we simplify the expression \( 4 \cdot 2^{4-a} \). We can rewrite this as:
\[
4 \cdot 2^{4-a} = 2^2 \cdot 2^{4-a} = 2^{2 + (4-a)} = 2^{6-a}
\]
