The ordering peairs (1,) , (2,16), (3,81) , *4, 256), and (5,625) represent a function. What is a rule that represents this function?
A. y = 4x
B. y = 4x
C. y = x4
D. y = x + 4
The given pairs of numbers follow a pattern where the second number is obtained by raising the first number to the power of 4. Therefore, the rule that represents this function is y = x^4.
So, the correct answer is C.
