Solution

The given mathematical function is:

f(x)=3(23)xf(x) = 3 \left( \frac{2}{3} \right)^x

This is an exponential function where the base is 23\frac{2}{3} and the coefficient is 3. The function describes how the value of f(x)f(x) changes as xx changes.

Would you like to explore the behavior of this function further, or would you like me to help you with a specific aspect of it?
