find the expression 67x5x can be written as 6 f x where f x
find the expression (67x)5x can be written as 6 f (x), where f (x) is a function of x. Find f(x).
Solution
When you have a power to a power, you multiply the exponents. For example,
(x^a)^b = x^(a*b).
So in your problem, you would get:
(6^(7x))^(5x) = 6^(7x*5x) = 6^(35x^2)
Since the function f(x) is just referring to the exponent on the 6, your answer would then be:
f(x) = 35x^2
