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

Question

f(x) = 8(5)^x


f(0) =

Answer 1

To find \( f(0) \) using the function rule \( f(x) = 8(5)^x \), you simply substitute \( x = 0 \) into the function.

So,

\[ f(0) = 8(5)^0 \]

Since any number raised to the power of 0 is 1, we have:

\[ f(0) = 8 \cdot 1 = 8 \]

Thus, \( f(0) = 8 \).
