Question

Help! I will medal!
The function f(x) = 10(5)x represents the growth of a lizard population every year in a remote desert. Crista wants to manipulate the formula to an equivalent form that calculates every half-year, not every year. Which function is correct for Crista's purposes?

f(x) = 10(5^2)^(x/2)

f(x) = 10/2(5)^x

f(x) = 10(5)^x

f(x) = 10(5^(1/2)^2x

Answer 1

It is D. f(x) = 10(1/2)2x

Answer 2

That is, f(x)=10(5^1/2)^2x
