Problems from Exponential functions

Indicate what is the base of the exponential functions that satisfy the following relations. Indicate, also, its domain and image:

  1. f(2)=16
  2. h(2)=25
  3. g(3)=164
See development and solution

Development:

  1. To find the base of the exponential function we raise and solve the following equation: x2=16x=4 Therefore 4 is the base of the function, with Dom(f)=R and Im(f)=(0,+).

  2. We proceed as in the previous case: x2=25x2=125x=15 Therefore the base of the function is 15, with Dom(f)=R and Im(f)=(0,+).

  3. We proceed as in the previous case: x3=164x=1643x=14 Therefore the base of function is 14, with Dom(f)=R and Im(f)=(0,+).

Solution:

  1. b=4, Dom(f)=R, Im(f)=(0,+)
  2. b=15, Dom(f)=R, Im(f)=(0,+)
  3. b=14, Dom(f)=R, Im(f)=(0,+)
