Question

Use the following function rule to find f(0).

f(x)= 9^x-6
f(1)=___

Answer 1

To find \( f(0) \) using the function rule \( f(x) = 9^x - 6 \), we can substitute \( x = 0 \) into the function:

\[
f(0) = 9^0 - 6
\]

Since \( 9^0 = 1 \), we have:

\[
f(0) = 1 - 6 = -5
\]

Therefore, \( f(0) = -5 \).

Next, to find \( f(1) \), we substitute \( x = 1 \) into the function:

\[
f(1) = 9^1 - 6
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
f(1) = 9 - 6 = 3
\]

So, \( f(1) = 3 \).

In summary:
- \( f(0) = -5 \)
- \( f(1) = 3 \)
