Question

Use the following function rule to find f(1).

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

Answer 1

To find \( f(1) \) using the given function rule \( f(x) = 9^x - 6 \), we substitute \( x = 1 \) into the function:

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

Calculating \( 9^1 \):

\[
9^1 = 9
\]

Now, substitute this value back into the equation:

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

Therefore, the value of \( f(1) \) is

\[
\boxed{3}
\]
