Sure! Let’s solve each of the 14 exponential function evaluation problems step by step. We’ll plug in the given value for the variable and simplify, rounding to the
nearest hundredth if needed.

1) g(n) = 3 · (7/6)^n at n = -3
We use the rule:
> a^(-n) = 1 / a^n
So:
g(-3) = 3 · (7/6)^(-3)
= 3 · (6/7)^3
= 3 · (216 / 343)
= 648 / 343 ≈
1.89
✔ Answer: 1.89

2) h(x) = 9 · (1/2)^x at x = 3
h(3) = 9 · (1/2)^3
= 9 · (1/8)
= 9/8 =
1.125 → round to nearest hundredth →
1.13
✔ Answer: 1.13
---
3) f(n) = (4/7) · (1/2)^n at n = -3
f(-3) = (4/7) · (1/2)^(-3)
= (4/7) · 2^3
= (4/7) · 8
= 32/7 ≈
4.57
✔ Answer: 4.57
---
4) h(n) = (1/7) · 2^n at n = 2
h(2) = (1/7) · 2^2
= (1/7) · 4
= 4/7 ≈
0.57
✔ Answer: 0.57
---
5) g(y) = (9/3) · (1/2)^y at y = 2
First, simplify 9/3 = 3.
g(2) = 3 · (1/2)^2
= 3 · (1/4)
= 3/4 =
0.75
✔ Answer: 0.75
---
6) h(x) = 5 · 2^x at x = 3
h(3) = 5 · 2^3
= 5 · 8 =
40.00
✔ Answer: 40.00
---
7) f(x) = 3 · (5/7)^x at x = 3
f(3) = 3 · (5/7)^3
= 3 · (125 / 343)
= 375 / 343 ≈
1.09
✔ Answer: 1.09
---
8) h(n) = (1/2) · (1/3)^n at n = -2
h(-2) = (1/2) · (1/3)^(-2)
= (1/2) · 3^2
= (1/2) · 9
= 9/2 =
4.50
✔ Answer: 4.50
---
9) g(y) = (2/7) · 2^y at y = 2
g(2) = (2/7) · 2^2
= (2/7) · 4
= 8/7 ≈
1.14
✔ Answer: 1.14
---
10) f(y) = (3/2) · 2^y at y = -2
f(-2) = (3/2) · 2^(-2)
= (3/2) · (1/4)
= 3/8 =
0.375 → round to
0.38
✔ Answer: 0.38
---
11) f(x) = 4 · 2^x at x = -2
f(-2) = 4 · 2^(-2)
= 4 · (1/4)
= 1.00
✔ Answer: 1.00
---
12) h(y) = (1/2) · (1/3)^y at y = 3
h(3) = (1/2) · (1/3)^3
= (1/2) · (1/27)
= 1/54 ≈
0.02
✔ Answer: 0.02
---
13) g(y) = (1/2) · (2/3)^y at y = -2
g(-2) = (1/2) · (2/3)^(-2)
= (1/2) · (3/2)^2
= (1/2) · (9/4)
= 9/8 =
1.125 → round to
1.13
✔ Answer: 1.13
---
14) g(y) = 8 · (1/2)^y at y = -2
g(-2) = 8 · (1/2)^(-2)
= 8 · 2^2
= 8 · 4 =
