so... notice, the graph is just g(x), flipped upside-down and shifted up by 1 unit

Answer:  The correct equation is (B) \(f(x)=-2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^x+1.\)

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the correct equation of the function f(x) shown in the figure.

From the graph given in the figure, we have

\(f(-1)=-3,~~f(0)=-1,~~f(1)=0.\)

(A) First option is

\(f(x)=-3\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^x+1.\)

From here, we get

\(f(-1)=-3\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{-1}+1=-3\times 2+1=-5 eq -3.\)

So, this option is not correct.

(B) First option is

\(f(x)=--2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^x+1.\)

From here, we get

\(f(-1)=-2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{-1}+1=-2\times 2+1=-3\\\\f(0)=-2\left\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^0+1=-2+1=-1,\\\\f(1)=-2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^1+1=-1+1=0.\)

So, this option is correct.

(C) Third option is

\(f(x)=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^x-3.\)

From here, we get

\(f(-1)=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{-1}-3=-1\times 2-3=-5 eq -3.\)

So, this option is not correct.

(D) Fourth option is

\(f(x)=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^x-1.\)

From here, we get

\(f(-1)=-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{-1}-1=--\times 2-1=-3,\\\\f(0)=-\left\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^0-1=-1-1=-2 eq -1.\)

So, this option is not correct.

Thus, the correct function is

(B) \(f(x)=-2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^x+1.\)
