how far did you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Er...No where? Does f equal y?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes, y = f(x)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
plug in x to get y or f(x)

let's say you plug in x = 2
f(x) = 5^x
f(2) = 5^2
f(2) = 25
so when x = 2, y is y = 25. The point is really (2,25) and NOT (2,10)

OK. I think I get it. I think they're suppose to be more than one answer though.

what answers do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(-2, -25)
(2, 10)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
recall that above I said that the point should be (2,25) and NOT (2,10)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
since 5^2 = 5*5 = 25
OpenStudy (anonymous):
C?

why C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm just guessing. I see how the first one makes sense but not the others.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
for part c, x = 0, agreed?
