write a formula for y in terms of x if y is proportional to the 5th power of x and when x=2

Question

the unit we are working on is forms and function

Answer 1

If I'm reading correctly you are stating that y is proportional to x⁵ when x=2. Simply put this reads as y=x⁵ and x=2 so, y=(2)⁵ ==> y=32 

The formula or function would read

f(x)=x⁵ so f(2)=(2)⁵

Answer 2

There seem to be missing words.  and WHAT when X = 2?  

 

You're going to have something of the form Y = AX⁵ + B or Y = A(X-C)⁵ + B, but exactly what will depend on those missing words.
