The equation that represents the function is [tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]
The graph is an exponential function, and it passes through the points:
[tex](x,y) = (1,1)\ (0,2)[/tex]
An exponential function is represented with:
[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]
At (0,2), we have:
[tex]ab^0 = 2[/tex]
This gives
[tex]a(1) = 2[/tex]
[tex]a = 2[/tex]
At (1,1), we have:
[tex]ab^1 = 1[/tex]
[tex]ab = 1[/tex]
Substitute 2 for (a)
[tex]2b = 1[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]b = \frac 12[/tex]
Substitute values for a and b in [tex]y = ab^x[/tex]
[tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]
Hence, the equation that represents the function is [tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]
