Answer

(b)

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=2^{x-2}=2^x.2^{-2}=\frac{1}{4}.2^x$ The exponential term has the form: $a^x$. So, the graph must be increasing. $f(0)=\frac{1}{4}.2^0=\frac{1}{4}.1=\frac{1}{4}$. That is, the point $(0,\frac{1}{4})$ lies on the graph of $f(x)=2^{x-2}$ We conclude that the graph of $f(x)=2^{x-2}$ is (b)
