Answer:
g(x) = [tex]8(\frac{1}{2})^x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the graphed exponential function is,
g(x) = [tex]a(b)^x[/tex]
Two points (0, 8) and (1, 2) lie on this graph.
For (0, 8),
g(0) = [tex]a(b)^0[/tex]
8 = a(1)
a = 8
For other point (1, 2),
g(1) = [tex]a(b)^1[/tex]
2 = ab
2 = 8b
b = [tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex]
b = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Therefore, given exponential function wiil be,
g(x) = [tex]8(\frac{1}{2})^x[/tex]
