(1) Use the following function rule to find \( f(1) \). \( f(x)=5.2^{x} \) \( f(1)=\square \) Write your answer as a decimal or whole number. Submit

To find \( f(1) \) using the function rule \( f(x) = 5.2^{x} \), simply substitute \( x \) with 1. This gives us: \[ f(1) = 5.2^{1} = 5.2 \] So, \( f(1) = 5.2 \). To express \( f(1) \) in a fun way, imagine you’re a baker: you have 5.2 cups of sugar for your delicious cake recipe. That's a perfectly measured cup of sweetness! Just like your cake, functions like this one can have many tasty results by varying the input!
