f(x)=(1)/(9)(3^x)

If the function is asking what if x = 5, then we will substitute the exponent x with 5.


f(5)=(1)/(9)(3^5)

From the formula above, we will multiply 3 to itself five times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3) = 243


f(5)=(1)/(9)(243)

After that, we will multiple 243 to 1/9 or simply divide 243 by 9.


f(5)=(243)/(9)=27

Therefore, the value of the function if x = 5 is 27. Option A is the answer.
