If F(x+y) = F(x) * F(y)
Given :
F(3) = 729

Find
F(1/2) +F(1) +F(3/2) = ?

A. 13
B. 27
C. 39
D. 52
E. 81


from this equation we can tell that
\(F(x) = (F(1)) ^n\)
F(3)=F(1)^3
F(1)=9
\(F(1/2)=F(1)^1/2\)=3
\(F(3/2)=F(1)^3/2\)=27

39
option C

Given :
If F(x+y) = F(x) * F(y)
F(3) = 729
Find:
F(1/2) +F(1) +F(3/2) = ?

F(3) = F(1)*F(2) = F(1)*F(1)*F(1) = 729
F(1) = 9
F(1) = F(1/2)*F(1/2) = 9
F(1/2) = 3
F(3/2) = F(1/2)*F(1) = 3*9 = 27


F(1/2) +F(1) +F(3/2) = 3 + 9 + 27 = 39
