<h3>Answer: 40</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

Assuming the function is f(x) = 5(2)^x, then we replace every x with 3. Then we use the order of operations PEMDAS to simplify. Or we can use a calculator to simplify in one step.

f(x) = 5(2)^x

f(3) = 5(2)^3

f(3) = 5(8)

f(3) = 40
