f(k) = k^5/16, what is f(2k) in terms of f(k)??
f(2k) = (2k)^5/16 = 2^5 * k^5/16 = 32*f(k)
IMO E

f(k)=k^5/16.
f(2k)=(2k)^5/16
Shouldn't it be (2^5/16)*(k^5/16)

(32)^1/16*f(k)

You are right... it should be 32/16 * f(k) = 2f(k).
OA is C

More like 16th root of 32 *f(k)

No I think the question is k raised to the power 5 and then this whole value divided by 16.
and NOT k raised to the power 5/16.
