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

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

Answer :

To find [tex]\( f(3) \)[/tex], we start by using the function provided:

[tex]\[ f(x) = \left(\frac{1}{7}\right)\left(7^x\right) \][/tex]

We need to calculate [tex]\( f(3) \)[/tex], which means we substitute [tex]\( x = 3 \)[/tex] into the function:

[tex]\[ f(3) = \left(\frac{1}{7}\right)\left(7^3\right) \][/tex]

Now, let's simplify step-by-step:

1. Calculate [tex]\( 7^3 \)[/tex], which means multiplying 7 by itself three times:

[tex]\( 7 \times 7 \times 7 = 343 \)[/tex]

2. Then, multiply this result by [tex]\(\frac{1}{7}\)[/tex]:

[tex]\(\frac{1}{7} \times 343 = \frac{343}{7}\)[/tex]

3. Finally, divide 343 by 7:

[tex]\( 343 \div 7 = 49 \)[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]\( f(3) = 49 \)[/tex].

So, the correct answer is [tex]\( \boxed{49} \)[/tex].
