EXPLANATION :

f(x) has values of 1/6, 1/4, 3/8, 9/16, 27/32

As you notice, the next term is 3/2 of the previous term :

1/6 x 3/2 = 1/4

1/4 x 3/2 = 3/8

3/8 x 3/2 = 9/16

9/16 x 3/2 = 27/32

So we can say that the function's value changes by a factor of 3/2.

Then f(x) demonstrates that exponent functions change by equal ratios over equal intervals.
