If Joe wanted to create a function that modeled an exponential function with base of 8 and what exponents were needed to reach specific values, how would he set up his function? f(x) = x8 f(x) = log8x f(x) = logx8 f(x) = 8x

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

i medal and fan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 8x X can be his unknown and 8 is his base for an exponential function! ^.^

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Np!

OpenStudy (alekos):

f(x)=8x is just a straight line, not an exponential function

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

so it would be B right

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

no wait its D

OpenStudy (alekos):

That is exactly right. B is a logarithmic function with a base of 8. The inverse of this is an exponential function

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

modeled an exponential function

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

there asking for Exonential

OpenStudy (alekos):

I think the problem here is that you haven't written your functions out correctly. Is this D? \[y=8^{x}\]

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

f(x) = 8x

OpenStudy (alekos):

If it's suppose to look like this then it's correct \[f(x) = 8^{x}\]

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

okay thanks

OpenStudy (alekos):

please use latex next time
