Back question 88 of 152 Next

Explanation

Choice B is correct. Substituting 72 for fx in the given function yields 72=8x. Dividing each side of this equation by 8 yields 9=x. Therefore, fx=72 when the value of x is 9 .

Choice A is incorrect. This is the value of x for which fx=64, not fx=72.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the value of x for which fx=512, not fx=72.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the value of x for which fx=640, not fx=72.
