Answer:

  • <u>Option B. 59%</u>

Explanation:

The function that represents the number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water as the time t years elapses is:

  • A(t)=136(1.123)^{4t}

The base, 1.123, represents the multiplicative constant rate of change of the function, so you just must substitute 1 for t in the power part of the function:

  • rate=(1.123)^{4t}=(1.123)^4=1.590

Then, the multiplicative rate of change is 1.590, which means that every year the number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water increases by a factor of 1.590, and that is 1.59 - 1 = 0.590 or 59% increase.
