The function f(x) = 4(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp.
calculates three times a year, not just once a year.

3 times a year
so x becomes 3x


Take log on both sides


Use log property and move exponent before log

Divide both sides by x
log 4 = 3 log(1+r)
Solve for '1+r'
log 4 = log(1+r)^3
Remove log from both sides
4 = (1+r)^3
take cube root on both sides
1.584740= 1+r
1+r = 1.59

so equation becomes

1+r = 1.59
subtract 1 from both sides
So r= 59 = 59%
So growth factor is 59%
Answer is option C
<span>It is: 7 to the power of 5 = 16807</span>
Surprisingly, a one-step equation <em>is </em>that simple; it's just an equation that takes one step to solve. So yes, 3 + 4 = 7 would be one you could do. You could also do a simple multiplication or division problem if you'd like, for instance you could do 4*3=12, or 12/4=3. Hope I helped!
