Chapter 6.3, Problem 22E

To determine

To find:Match the function with its graph.

Answer to Problem 22E

The graph of the function would be (B).

  

Explanation of Solution

Giveninformation:

The function is $f(x)=-2{\left(0.5\right)}^x$

The options are

  

Comparing the given function with the general form $f(x)=a{b}^x$ , we observe that $a=-2,b=0.5$ .

Here, $a<0,b<1$ .

Conclusion:

Observing the values of a and b, the graph is anincreasing function and it approaches to 0 as x approaches to infinity.

Therefore, the graph of the given function would be (B).
