if you are doing exponents please write superscripts with an arrow up

4^3 = 4*4*4 = 64

2^(2*3) = 2^6
It is exponents
But what is the exponent ?
Please use standard notation.
Which of the following options is an equivalent function to f(x) = 4(3^2x?
A.f(x)= 36^x
B.f(x)= 4(9)^x
C.f(x)= 144^x
D.f(x)= 4(6x)
I think that's how you put the exponents in standard notation
The answer is b
3^(2x) = (3^2)^x = 9^x
so
4 * 3^(2x) = 4 * 9^x

agree B but watch notation carefully :)
