Transcript text: Evaluate the following function at the indicated values.
\[
H(x)=2^{x}
\]
(a) $H(-4)$
(b) $H(0)$
(c) $H(5)$
Solution
Solution Steps
To evaluate the function \( H(x) = 2^x \) at the given values, we simply need to substitute the values of \( x \) into the function and compute the result.
Step 1: Evaluate \( H(-4) \)
To find \( H(-4) \), we substitute \( x = -4 \) into the function:
\[
H(-4) = 2^{-4} = \frac{1}{2^4} = \frac{1}{16} = 0.0625
\]
