what is the value of f(-9) to the nearst hundredth

For this problem, we are given the expression for a function, f(x), and we need to determine the value of f(-9) to the nearest hundredth.
The expression is:
[tex]f(x)=2^{8+x}+7[/tex]We need to replace "x" with the value "-9", and simplify the expression.
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-9)=2^{8-9}+7 \\ f\mleft(-9\mright)=2^{-1}+7 \\ f\mleft(-9\mright)=\frac{1}{2}+7 \\ f\mleft(-9\mright)=0.5+7=7.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]The value of f(-9) is 7.5
