The function f(x) = 4(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?

itsmichelle29 · Answer

f(x) = 4(4)^x; growth rate 400%
 f(x) = 4(4)^3x, growth rate 4%
 f(x) = 4(1.59)^3x; growth rate 59%
 f(x) = 4(1.59)^x; growth rate 4%

so is the equation 

$$f(x) = 4(4)^x$$

Yeah

itsmichelle29 · Answer

So...... is would be  f(x) = 4(4)^3x, growth rate 4% ... or no
