Question 285914:  Evaluate the exponential equation for three positive values of x, three negative values of x and at x=0. Transform the second expression into the equivalent logarithmic equation; and evaluate the logarithmic equation for three values of x that are greater than 1, three values of x that are between 0 and 1, and at x=1. Use the resulting ordered pairs to plot the graph of each function.
 
y=2^-(x-2), x=2^-(y-2).
 
I do not understand this problem at all.

You can  put this solution on YOUR website!  
The first part of the problem says to substitute three + values , 3 - values, and 0 for x
 
y=2^-(x-2), x=2^-(y-2) 
so plug in 3 + values such as 1 2 and 3 
three negative values -1 -2 -3 
and 0 
do that much and we can proceed. 
 
for x=1 
y=2^-(x-2) 
x=1 
y=2^-(1-2) 
work it out 
x=2^-(y-2) 
1=2^-(y-2) 
work it out
