Step 1
Approach:
Exponential functions:
The exponential function with base a is defined for all real numbers x by,
f(x)=ax
Where a>0 and a1
Step 2
Calculation:
Given,
g(x)=(13)x+1
We use a calculator to obtain the values of g(12), g(2), g(3.5), g(1.4).

Thus,
g(12)=0.192
g(2)=0.070
h(3.5)=15.588 and
g(1.4)=1.551
