A logistics coordinator is using two different formulas to estimate shipping costs based on the number of regional hubs ($x$). Match each formula with the correct role that the variable $x$ plays when the formulas are evaluated for 4 hubs ($$x = 4$).

A data analyst is comparing two growth models for a subscription service where x represents the number of months. Model A is x^2 and Model B is 3^x. What is the value of Model B when evaluated for month 4 (x = 4)?

A financial analyst is comparing two growth models, $x^2$ and $3^x$, for $x = 4$ years. True or False: The model where the variable is the exponent ($3^x$) results in a higher value than the model where the variable is the base ($x^2$).

A logistics analyst is using the growth model $3^x$ to predict the number of possible delivery routes for $x = 4$ regional hubs. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to evaluate this expression according to the definition of exponents.
