The function f(x) = 12(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp. Jackie wants to manipulate the formula to an equivalent form that calculates three times a year, not just once a year. Which function is correct for Jackie's purpose, and what is the new growth rate? (5 points)

f(x) = 4(4)x; growth rate 400%

f(x) = 4(4)3x, growth rate 4%

f(x) = 4(1.59)3x; growth rate 159%

f(x) = 4(1.59)x; growth rate 4%

I think A but I am not sure
