If [tex]f(x)=\left(\frac{1}{7}\right)\left(7^x\right)[/tex], what is [tex]f(3)[/tex]?

A. 49
B. [tex]\frac{1}{49}[/tex]
C. [tex]\frac{1}{343}[/tex]
D. 343

Answer :

Certainly! Let's work through the function step by step to find [tex]\( f(3) \)[/tex].

We have the function:
[tex]\[ f(x) = \left(\frac{1}{7}\right) \cdot (7^x) \][/tex]

To find [tex]\( f(3) \)[/tex], we simply substitute [tex]\( x = 3 \)[/tex] into the function:
[tex]\[ f(3) = \left(\frac{1}{7}\right) \cdot (7^3) \][/tex]

Next, we calculate [tex]\( 7^3 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 7^3 = 7 \times 7 \times 7 = 49 \times 7 = 343 \][/tex]

Now, plug this value back into the function:
[tex]\[ f(3) = \left(\frac{1}{7}\right) \cdot 343 \][/tex]

To simplify, divide 343 by 7:
[tex]\[ \frac{343}{7} = 49 \][/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]\( f(3) \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 49 \)[/tex].

So, the correct answer is:
A. 49
