Use The Properties Of Exponents To Write The Function In The Form Ftkat Where K Is A Constant1323t class=

Sagot :

We are given the following function

[tex](\frac{1}{3})^{2-3t}[/tex]

Let us re-write this function in the following form.

[tex]f(t)=ka^t[/tex]

Where k is a constant.

Step 1:

Split the powers using the multiplication rule of exponents.

[tex]a^{x+y}=a^x\cdot a^y[/tex]

Applying the above rule, the function becomes

[tex](\frac{1}{3})^{2-3t}=(\frac{1}{3})^2\cdot(\frac{1}{3})^{-3t}[/tex]

Further simplifying, the function becomes

[tex](\frac{1}{3})^2\cdot(\frac{1}{3})^{-3t}=\frac{1}{9}\cdot(\frac{1}{3})^{-3t}[/tex]

Step 2:

Apply the power rule of exponents

[tex]a^{xy}=(a^x)^y[/tex]

So, the function becomes

[tex]\frac{1}{9}\cdot(\frac{1}{3})^{-3t}=\frac{1}{9}\cdot((\frac{1}{3})^{-3})^t[/tex]

Further simplifying the function becomes

[tex]\frac{1}{9}\cdot((\frac{1}{3})^{-3})^t=\frac{1}{9}\cdot(27^{})^t[/tex]

Therefore, the function is

[tex]f(t)=\frac{1}{9}\cdot27^t[/tex]

Where k = 1/9 and a = 27
