A 2-column table has 2 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1, 2. The second column is labeled f (x) with entries 8, 2, 0.5, 0.125, 0.03125. Use the table of values to write the exponential function.

Use a calculator to verify that σ(x) = 62, σ(x2) = 1034, σ(y) = 644, σ(y2) = 93,438, and σ(x y) = 9,622. compute r. (enter a number. round your answer to three decimal places.) as x increases from 3 to 22 months, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? explain your answer. given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases. given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.
