Respuesta :
The true statement about the exponential functions is (b) the functions f(x) and g(x) are reflections over the y-axis.
The functions are given as:
[tex]f(x) = 2^x[/tex]
[tex]g(x) = (\frac 12)^x[/tex]
Reflect function over the y-axis.
The rule of this transformation is:
[tex](x,y)\to (-x,y)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]f(x) = 2^x[/tex]
[tex]f'(x) = 2^{-x}[/tex]
Apply power rule of indices
[tex]f'(x) = (\frac{1}{2})^x[/tex]
By comparison:
[tex]g(x) = f'(x) = (\frac{1}{2})^x[/tex]
Hence, the functions f(x) and g(x) are reflections over the y-axis.
