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



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

B. 49

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

D. 343

Answer :

We are given the function

$$
f(x) = \frac{1}{7} \cdot 7^x.
$$

To find $f(3)$, substitute $x = 3$ into the function:

$$
f(3) = \frac{1}{7} \cdot 7^3.
$$

First, compute $7^3$:

$$
7^3 = 343.
$$

Now multiply by $\frac{1}{7}$:

$$
f(3) = \frac{1}{7} \cdot 343 = \frac{343}{7}.
$$

Simplify the fraction:

$$
\frac{343}{7} = 49.
$$

Thus, the value of $f(3)$ is $49$, which corresponds to option B.
