Math Problem Statement

En eksponentiel funktion har forskriften f(x) = 5 * 2^x. Bestem f(3).

Solution

The function given is:

f(x)=52xf(x) = 5 \cdot 2^x

We are asked to determine f(3)f(3).

Solution:

  1. Substitute x=3x = 3 into the function: f(3)=523f(3) = 5 \cdot 2^3

  2. Calculate 232^3: 23=82^3 = 8

  3. Multiply by 5: f(3)=58=40f(3) = 5 \cdot 8 = 40

Answer:

The correct answer is f(3)=40f(3) = 40.
