1/2^x * 1/2 ^ -1 < .5

1/2 ^ x * 1/ (1/2)^1 < .5

1/2 ^ x * 2 < .5

1/2 ^ x < .25

I´m too with D.

(1) is pretty obvious.
(2) For ((1/2)^(x - 1)) < 0.5 to be true, x should be >2.

Since with x=2, ((1/2)^(x - 1))=1/2 and it will start diminishing as x increases, x is AT LEAST 2 to accomplish with ((1/2)^(x - 1)) < 0.5
