Question

The surface area of an oil spill gets 105% larger every day, represented by the function
s(x) = (1.05)x − 1. On the first day, it covered an area of 31 square meters. Which
function would be used to find the area of the oil spill on the 15th day?

s(x) = (1.05)^31 − 1

s(x) = 31(1.05)^x − 1

s(x) = 1.05(31)^x − 1

s(x) = (1.05)^x − 31
