Which of the following options is an equivalent function to f(x) = 2(5)^2x? choices: f(x) = 50^x f(x) = 100^x f(x) = 2(25)^x f(x) = 4(25)^x

@Michele_Laino @Zale101
f(x) = 100^x
can u help me with another? @Adi3
i just told you the answer
Identify the domain of the exponential function shown in the following graph: choices: all real numbers x greater than or equal to 0 x greater than or equal to 0, 30000 is greater than or equal to x x greater than or equal to 7, 30000 is greater than or equal to x
i think it is A or B

I see mathmate is typing a reply, so I'll leave it to him :)
Hint for the original question: \(f(x)=a(b^{cx})=a[(bc)^x]\) by the law of exponents.
Domain is the set of all valid input for the function, i.e. the valid values along the x-axis. For the question of domain, observe from the graph the valid values along the x-axis. Decide if x<0 is part of the domain, if x=0 is part of the domain, if x=10000 is part of the domain.
so b

@TheSmartOne
I will be glad to comment on your answer if you would post the answer itself and not the assumed letter choice.
x greater than or equal to 0 @mathmate
Exactly. "x greater than or equal to 0" is the domain of the given function because the function starts at 0 towards the right, with no limitation where it stops. Also there are no vertical asymptotes or discontinuities.
do you know the second one. @mathmate
I thought this is the answer to the second question. Let me check.
Do you mean the third one? Hint: average rate = \(\Large \frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}\) where in your case x1=1, x2=4.
yeah i know the formula and i got -55/3 but the reasoning behind that answer make no sense @mathmate
Can you show me how you found -55/3? We'll try to fix it if it does not work! :)
-14/3 is what i meant @mathmate
@TylerD
Yes, -14/3 is correct, obtained as (2-16)/3=-14/3. Well done!
