The order pairs (1,1), (2,16), (3,81), (4,256), (5,625) represent A function. What is a rule that represents this function

Answer 1

The rule is y = x^2.

Answer 2

NOPE

look at the third (3, 81)

81 ≠ 3^2
but 3^4 = 81, and 4^4 = 256, and 5^4 = 625

so y = x^4

Answer 3

Good grief !!!! Please, please stop it "answer"
