Math Problem Statement

Given the function 

f(x)=(1.3)x

. Calculate the following values; round your answers to four decimal places. If an expression is undefined, enter DNE

f(0)=  

Solution

Given the function f(x)=(1.3)xf(x) = (1.3)^x, let's calculate f(0)f(0).

We substitute x=0x = 0 into the function:

f(0)=(1.3)0f(0) = (1.3)^0

Using the property of exponents that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1:

f(0)=1f(0) = 1

So, f(0)=1f(0) = 1.

Let me know if you'd like more details or have any questions!

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What is the value of f(1)f(1) for f(x)=(1.3)xf(x) = (1.3)^x?
  2. How does the value of f(x)=(1.3)xf(x) = (1.3)^x change as xx increases?
  3. What is the value of f(1)f(-1) for the function f(x)=(1.3)xf(x) = (1.3)^x?
  4. What happens to f(x)=(1.3)xf(x) = (1.3)^x as xx approaches infinity?
  5. How would the graph of f(x)=(1.3)xf(x) = (1.3)^x compare to that of f(x)=(2)xf(x) = (2)^x?

Tip: Exponential functions like f(x)=axf(x) = a^x grow faster as the base aa increases, especially when xx is positive.
