Answer

a. III b. I c. II d. IV

Work Step by Step

a. $f(x) = 2^x$ $2^x$ has a point (1,2); the only graph that matches with that is in red (III) b. $f(x) = 2^{-x}$ This is a graph that is reflected over the y-axis from $2^x$, thus it is the graph in green (I) c. $f(x) = (-2)^x$ This is a graph that is reflected over the x-axis from $2^x$, thus it is the graph in purple (II) d. $f(x) = (-2)^{-x}$ This is a graph that is reflected over the x and y-axis from $2^x$, thus it is the graph in black (IV)
