Select "yes" or "no" to indicate whether the ordered pair is on the graph of the function f(x)=−25^x+1. (1,625) (0,−25) (−1,−1) p. s i thought that the base of an exponent can not be negative, asap

(1,625) No (0,-25) No (-1,-1) No Think about what an integer exponent means for an negative base and you'll understand this problem. For instance the powers of -25 would be -25^1 = -25 -25^2 = (-25) * (-25) = 625 -25^3 = (-25)*(-25)*(-25) = -15625 and so on, giving 390625, -9765625, 244140625, etc. But that's a different subject. For the ordered pairs given, let's check them out. (1,625) -25^1 + 1 = -25 + 1 = -24. And -24 is not equal to 625, so "No". (0,-25) -25^0 + 1 = 1 +1 = 2. Note: Any real number other than 0 raised to the 0th power is 1. And 2 is not equal to -25, so "No". (-1,-1) -25^(-1) + 1 = 1/(-25^1) + 1 = 1/-25 + 1 = 24/25. And 24/25 is not equal to -1, so also "No".

Where's the rest of the
