Question

If \( x = -0.5 \), then which of the following has the smallest value?

• A. \( 2^x \)
• B. \( 1/x \)
• C. \( 1/x^2 \)
• D. \( 2x^x \)
• E. \( 1/\sqrt{-x} \)

Hint:

For questions asking for the "smallest" value with negative inputs, look for expressions that result in negative numbers first, as they will always be smaller than positive results.
