Answer 1

To find the y-values for the function \( y = 5(1/4)^x \) at the given x-values (-2, -1, 0, and 1), we can plug these values into the function:

1. For \( x = -2 \):
\[
y = 5(1/4)^{-2} = 5 \cdot 4^2 = 5 \cdot 16 = 80
\]
So, the ordered pair is \( (-2, 80) \).

2. For \( x = -1 \):
\[
y = 5(1/4)^{-1} = 5 \cdot 4^1 = 5 \cdot 4 = 20
\]
So, the ordered pair is \( (-1, 20) \).

3. For \( x = 0 \):
\[
y = 5(1/4)^{0} = 5 \cdot 1 = 5
\]
So, the ordered pair is \( (0, 5) \).

4. For \( x = 1 \):
\[
y = 5(1/4)^{1} = 5 \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25
\]
So, the ordered pair is \( (1, 1.25) \).

Now, we can summarize the ordered pairs:
- \( (-2, 80) \)
- \( (-1, 20) \)
- \( (0, 5) \)
- \( (1, 1.25) \)

So the correct set of ordered pairs based on the given options is:
\( (-2, 80) \), \( (-1, 20) \), \( (0, 5) \), and \( (1, 1.25) \).

The correct match is:
**(−2,80), (−1,20), (0,5), and (1,1.25)**.
