Consider the function p(c)=2^c+1 . what is p(3)?

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Data     I'm not sure if number 1 is a power of not, so I'll answer both cases.

1.- Number 1 is not a power

            p(c) = 2^c + 1

            p(3) = 2³ + 1

            p (3) = 8 + 1

            p(3) = 9

2.- Number 1 is a power

            p(c) = 2^c + 1

            p(3) = 2^3 + 1

            p(3) = 2^4

            p(3) = 16
