Hey there!
To solve this, we will first replace x with 5 anytime we see it in the equation.
f(5) = 2^5
Now, we simplify 2^5.
The base is 2 and the exponent is 5 in this case.
The exponent is the number of times you multiply the base by itself. In oour case:
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32
f(5) = 32
Hope this helps!
<u>We are given:</u>Distance covered by the fastest man in 9 seconds = 100m
<u>To Find: </u>The distance covered in 1 min 2 seconds or 62 seconds
<u>Finding the Speed of the man:</u>
We know that:
speed = distance covered / time taken
Speed = 100 / 9 <em>(we are given that he travels 100 m in 9 seconds)</em>
Speed = 11.11 m/s
<u>Distance travelled in 62 seconds:</u>
We know that:
distance covered = speed * time
<em>replacing the value of speed and time</em>
Distance = 11.11 * 62
Distance = 688.82 m
