Jessica has been tracking the population of a town. The population was 8,230 last year and has been increasing by 1.25 times each year. How can Jessica develop a function to model this?

f (x) = (8230 • 1.25) x where 1.25 is the rate of growth

f (x) = 8230 (1.25) x where 1.25 is the rate of growth

f (x) = 1.25 (8230) x where 8230 is the rate of growth

f (x) = 8230 (x) 1.25 where 8230 is the rate of growth

f (x) = 1.25 (8230) x where 8230 is the rate of growth

f (x) = 8230 (x) 1.25 where 8230 is the rate of growth

Raisin · Answer 1

f (x) = (8230 • 1.25) x where 1.25 is the rate of growth

Dominik Murphy · Answer 2

Population at start : 8,230.

The rate of growth: r = 1.25

x - number of the years;

Answer:

B) f (x) = 8,230 * (1.25) ^x where 1.25 is the rate of growth.
