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

A. [tex]\frac{1}{49}[/tex]

B. 343

C. 49

D. [tex]\frac{1}{343}[/tex]

Answer :

We are given the function

[tex]$$
f(x)=\frac{1}{7} \cdot 7^x.
$$[/tex]

To find [tex]$f(3)$[/tex], substitute [tex]$x=3$[/tex]:

[tex]$$
f(3) = \frac{1}{7} \cdot 7^3.
$$[/tex]

First, calculate [tex]$7^3$[/tex]:

[tex]$$
7^3 = 7 \times 7 \times 7 = 343.
$$[/tex]

Now substitute back:

[tex]$$
f(3) = \frac{1}{7} \cdot 343 = \frac{343}{7} = 49.
$$[/tex]

Thus, the answer is [tex]$\boxed{49}$[/tex], which corresponds to option C.
