Answer

The point of intersection is (0,2)

Work Step by Step

When plotting the two equations 2^(x+1) and 2^(1-x) they both line up perfectly crossing at (0,2) When doing an xy chart for 2^(x+1) plugging in 0 for x makes the graph cross at (0,2) x y 0 2 1 4 2 8 Now an xy chart for 2^(1-x) x y 0 2 1 1 2 1/2 This proves that the lines cross at (0,2)
