The ordered pairs (1, 5), (2, 25), (3, 125), (4, 625), and (5, 3125) represent a function. What is a rule that represents this function? A. y = x5 **B. y = 5x C. y = 5x D. y = x + 5

Answer 1

No, did you notice that the y values are all powers with base 5 ?
(1,5) ---> (1, 5^1)
(2, 25) ---> (2, 5^2)
...
(5, 3125) ---> (5, 5^5)

So y = 5^x , which I don't see as one of the options, unless you have typo in either B or C
