Questions: If (g(x)=left(frac15right)^x), find (g(2.95))
(g(2.95)=)
Transcript text: If $g(x)=\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{x}$, find $g(2.95)$
\[
g(2.95)=
\]
$\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
To find \( g(2.95) \) for the function \( g(x) = \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{x} \), we need to evaluate the expression by substituting \( x = 2.95 \) into the function. This involves calculating the power of a fraction, which can be done using Python's exponentiation capabilities.
Step 1: Define the Function
We start with the function defined as \( g(x) = \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{x} \).
Step 2: Substitute the Value
To find \( g(2.95) \), we substitute \( x = 2.95 \) into the function:
\[
g(2.95) = \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{2.95}
\]
Step 3: Calculate the Result
Evaluating the expression gives us:
\[
g(2.95) \approx 0.008670387093874944
\]
Rounding this result to the nearest thousandth, we find:
\[
g(2.95) \approx 0.009
\]
