1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the graph of the function f(x)=0.5xf(x) = 0.5^x. This is an exponential function of the form axa^x where a=0.5a = 0.5.

2. Solution Steps

Since the function is f(x)=0.5x=(1/2)xf(x) = 0.5^x = (1/2)^x, it's an exponential function with a base between 0 and

1. Exponential functions of the form $y = a^x$ have different behavior based on the value of $a$.

- If a>1a > 1, the function is increasing.
- If 0<a<10 < a < 1, the function is decreasing.
Also, all exponential functions of this form pass through the point (0, 1) because a0=1a^0 = 1.
As xx approaches positive infinity, 0.5x0.5^x approaches

0. As $x$ approaches negative infinity, $0.5^x$ approaches positive infinity.

Based on these characteristics, the graph should:
- Pass through the point (0, 1).
- Be decreasing.
- Approach 0 as x goes to infinity.
- Approach infinity as x goes to negative infinity.

3. Final Answer

The graph is a decreasing exponential function that passes through (0,1) and approaches the x-axis as x goes to infinity. (Without the picture options, it is impossible to pick a specific graph).
