Algebra I Help?! Exponential Functions and Models? Medal, Fan, Testimonial?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The expression below shows the population of foxes in a forest after 12x years. f(x) = 50(1.05)12^x Which of the following is an equivalent function? f(x) = 50(1.7959)^x f(x) = 50(12.6000)^x f(x) = 600(1.05)^x f(x) = 4.2(1.05)^x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, in the first equation, the 12x is raised.*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmale I don't remember anything about this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mean that the first expression should say f(x)=50(1.05)^(12x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes @Principes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x) = 50(1.05)^{12x}\] is my guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the same as \[f(x)=50\left((1.05)^{12}\right)^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find \(1.05^{12}\) and that will be what you need

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should be equivalent to 50(1.7959)^x, rather very very similar.

Thank you. :)
