To find \( f(5) \) using the function rule \( F(x) = 9(2)^x \), we will substitute \( x \) with 5.

\[
F(5) = 9(2)^5
\]

Now, calculate \( (2)^5 \):

\[
(2)^5 = 32
\]

Next, substitute this value back into the equation:

\[
F(5) = 9 \times 32
\]

Now, calculate \( 9 \times 32 \):

\[
9 \times 32 = 288
\]

Thus, the value of \( f(5) \) is

\[
\boxed{288}
\]
