Full solution

Q. f(t)=80(4)t f(t)=80(4)^{t} \newlineWhich of the following is an equivalent form of the function f f in which the base of the exponent is 22 ?
  1. Express as Power of 22: First, we need to express 44 as a power of 22 because 44 is 22 squared, or 222^2.
  2. Substitute in f(t)f(t): Now, we substitute 44 with 222^2 in the function f(t)f(t). So, f(t)f(t) becomes 80(22)t80(2^2)^t.
  3. Apply Power Rule: Next, we apply the power of a power rule which states (ab)c=a(bc)(a^b)^c = a^{(b*c)}.\newlineSo, (22)t(2^2)^t becomes 2(2t)2^{(2t)}.
  4. Rewrite with New Base: Now, we rewrite the function f(t)f(t) with the new base of the exponent.f(t)=80×22t.f(t) = 80 \times 2^{2t}.
