Question

Consider the function f(x)=3ˣ where Y=f(x)

A. The statement f(3) = 27 tells us the exponent on a base of _____ to produce a result of _____ is _____.
B. The statement f⁻¹(1) = 0 tells us the exponent on a base of _____ to produce a result of _____ is _____ .

Answer 1

The exponent on a base of 3 to produce a result of 27 is 3. The exponent on a base of 3 to produce a result of 1 is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The statement f(3) = 27 tells us the exponent on a base of 3 to produce a result of 27 is 3. This is because 3 raised to the power of 3 is equal to 27: 3³ = 27.

B. The statement f⁻¹(1) = 0 tells us the exponent on a base of 3 to produce a result of 1 is 0. This means that 3 raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1: 3⁰ = 1.
