Answer:
A = 3/2
B = 3
C = 6
D = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply plug it in. When you have a negative exponent, you basically switch the sign of the exponent and put a one over the number itself.
- So we have 2^-1. This is the same as [tex]3(\frac{1}{2^1}) =3( \frac{1}{2}) = \frac{3}{2}[/tex] = a
- Now do [tex]3(2^0) = 3[/tex] = b
- Then do [tex]3(2^1) = 6[/tex] = c
- Finally do [tex]3(2^2) = 12[/tex] = d
