The function (f(x)=(1 / 2)^x ) on (R ) is

Options

  1. AStrictly decreasing
  2. BStrictly increasing
  3. CDecreasing
  4. DNeither increasing nor decreasing

Correct answer

A. Strictly decreasing

Step-by-step solution

Let (y= ( 1 2 )^x ) on (R ) ( d y d x = ( 1 2 )^x 1 2 =- ( 1 2 )^x 2 ) ( ( d y d x < 0 ) ) so strictly decreasing
