Question

The function f(x) = 16(5)x represents the growth of a bee population every year in a remote swamp. Jennifer wants to manipulate the formula to an equivalent form that calculates two times a year, not just once a year. Which function is correct for Jennifer's purpose, and what is the new growth rate?

f(x) = 16(5)x; growth rate 500%
f(x) = 16(5)2x, growth rate 8%
f(x) = 16(2.24)x; growth rate 8%
f(x) = 16(2.24)2x; growth rate 24%
