Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This follows the form

where a is the initial value and b is the base with the exponent. Using that information, we can see that the initial value in our function is 1/3. Simplifying the base will take some work. Let's first rewrite this is a radical:
![81^{\frac{3x}{4} }=\sqrt[4]{81^{3x} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=81%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B3x%7D%7B4%7D%20%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B81%5E%7B3x%7D%20%7D)
Now let's break up 81 into its factors. 81 is 9*9 which is 3*3*3*3. Therefore,

We will use that as a simplification:
which simplifies to
![\sqrt[4]{3^{12x}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B3%5E%7B12x%7D%7D)
Rewriting that as an exponent looks like this:
which simplifies to

That's the answer for the second part. The whole exponential equation now is

The domain for an exponential function is all real numbers and the range is
y > 0
