Q.
If
f

10
f(x)=2^{2 x}+10
f
(
x
)
=

2
x
+
10
, what is the value of
f
(
−
3
)
f(-3)
f
(
−
3
)
, to the nearest ten-thousandth (if necessary)?
\newline
Answer:
Substitute
x
x
x
with
−
3
-3
−
3
:
To find the value of
f
(
−
3
)
f(-3)
f
(
−
3
)
, we need to substitute
x
x
x
with
−
3
-3
−
3
in the function
f
(
x
)
=
2
(
2
x
)
+
10
f(x) = 2^{(2x)} + 10
f
(
x
)
=
2
(
2
x
)
+
10
.
\newline
f
(
−
3
)
=
2
(
2
∗
(
−
3
)
)
+
10
f(-3) = 2^{(2*(-3))} + 10
f
(
−

)
=
2

))

Calculate exponent part:
Now we calculate the exponent part:
2
⋅
(
−
3
)
=
−
6
2\cdot(-3) = -6
2
⋅
(
−
3
)
=
−
6
. So we have:
\newline
f
(
−
3
)
=
2
−
6
+
10
f(-3) = 2^{-6} + 10
f
(
−
3
)
=
2
−
6
+
10
Calculate
2
−
6
2^{-6}
2
−
6
:
Next, we calculate
2
−
6
2^{-6}
2
−
6
. Since
2
−
6
2^{-6}
2
−
6
is the same as
1
/
(
2
6
)
1/(2^6)
1/
(
2
6
)
, we find:
\newline
2
−
6
=
1
/
(
2
6
)
=
1
/
64
2^{-6} = 1/(2^6) = 1/64
2
−
6
=
1/
(
2
6
)
=
1/64
Add
10
10
10
:
Now we add
10
10
10
to the result of
2
−
6
2^{-6}
2
−
6
:
\newline
f
(
−
3
)
=
1
64
+
10
f(-3) = \frac{1}{64} + 10
f
(
−
3
)
=
64
1
+
10
Express
10
10
10
as fraction:
To add
1
64
\frac{1}{64}
64
1
to
10
10
10
, we need to express
10
10
10
as a fraction with the same denominator as
1
64
\frac{1}{64}
64
1
:
10
=
10
×
(
64
64
)
=
640
64
10 = 10 \times \left(\frac{64}{64}\right) = \frac{640}{64}
10
=
10
×
(
64
64
)
=
64
640
Add two fractions:
Now we add the two fractions:
f
(
−
3
)
=
1
64
+
640
64
=
(
1
+
640
)
64
f(-3) = \frac{1}{64} + \frac{640}{64} = \frac{(1 + 640)}{64}
f
(
−
3
)
=
64
1
+
64
640
=
64
(
1
+
640
)
Perform addition in numerator:
We perform the addition in the numerator:
f
(
−
3
)
=
(
1
+
640
)
/
64
=
641
/
64
f(-3) = (1 + 640)/64 = 641/64
f
(
−
3
)
=
(
1
+
640
)
/64
=
641/64
Divide
641
641
641
by
64
64
64
:
Finally, we divide
641
641
641
by
64
64
64
to get the decimal value:
\newline
f
(
−
3
)
=
641
64
≈
10.015625
f(-3) = \frac{641}{64} \approx 10.015625
f
(
−
3
)
=
64
641
≈
10.015625
