Sure! Let’s solve each of the 14 exponential function evaluation problems step by step. The instructions say to
evaluate each function at the given value and
round to the nearest hundredth if needed.

1) g(n) = 3 · (7/6)^n at n = -3
We substitute n = -3:
g(-3) = 3 · (7/6)^(-3)
= 3 · (6/7)^3 ← because a^(-n) = 1/a^n = (1/a)^n
= 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
Note: 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
✔ Answer: 40
---
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 =
4.5
✔ 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 nearest hundredth →
0.38
✔ Answer: 0.38
---
11) f(x) = 4 · 2^x at x = -2
f(-2) = 4 · 2^(-2)
= 4 · (1/4) =
1
✔ 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 nearest hundredth →
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 =
32
✔ Answer: 32
