? it's not clear. I mean the expression.

Word to the wise:  There are much better ways to indicate exponentiation, and you should definitely be using them.  For example, 3(8)x literally means 3 times 8 times x and is not an exponential function at all.

f(x)=3(8)x should be written as f(x)=3(8)^x, or $$f(x)=3(8)^x$$

does this matter?  You bet it does.  Note how another student has already told you that your post is not clear to him / her.

mathmale · Answer

f(x) = 3(2)3x should be written as$$f(x)=3(2)^{3x}$$
