The ordered pairs left parenthesis 1 comma 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 16 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 81 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 256 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 625 right parenthesis represent a function. What is a rule that represents this function?
(1 point)
A) y equals 4 superscript x baseline
B) y equals 4 x
C) y equals x superscript 4 baseline
D) y equals x plus 4
The given ordered pairs follow the pattern where the y-coordinate is equal to the x-coordinate raised to the power of 4. Therefore, the rule that represents this function is:
C) y equals x raised to the power of 4 (y = x^4)
