Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
To evaluate g(x)=50e−0.1xg(x) = 50e^{-0.1x}g(x)=50e0.1x at x=−20x = -20x=20 , substitute −20-2020 for xxx : g(−20)=50e−0.1(−20)=50e2g(-20) = 50e^{-0.1(-20)} = 50e^{2}g(20)=50e0.1(20)=50e2 . Using a calculator, e2≈7.389e^{2} \approx 7.389e27.389 , so 50×7.389=369.4550 \times 7.389 = 369.4550×7.389=369.45 , rounded to three decimal places gives 369.453369.453369.453 .
