Given the equation f(x) = 35(1.3)x. Which of the following situations could this equation represent?
a. There is a disease outbreak at your school that starts with 35 people. The number of ill students increases by 20% each hour, x represents the number of hours.
b. A total of 35 people play a video game. The game randomly kills 30% of people per hour, x represents the number of hours.
c. A fish population starts with 35 fish. The fish propagate (reproduce) at a rate of 30% per week, x is the number of weeks.
d. There is a flu outbreak at your school that starts with 35 people. The number of ill students increases by 1.3 people each hour, x represents the number of hours.
I thought it was b and c too, but for B, they kill off people so that would be a decrease not an increase. For C, the fish are reproducing so they are increasing in population by 30%
