Answer:

y=120 * 1.1^x --- function

The monthly rate is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

x \to months

y \to mice

So, we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (0,120) --- Monday

(x_2,y_2) = (1,132) --- One month later

Required

The function

The function is represented as:

y=ab^x

In (x_1,y_1) = (0,120), we have:

120 = a * b^0

120 = a * 1

120 = a

a=120

In (x_2,y_2) = (1,132), we have:

132 = a * b^1

132 = a * b

Substitute: a=120

132 = 120 * b

Solve for b

b = \frac{132}{120}

b = 1.1

So, the function is:

y=ab^x

y=120 * 1.1^x

To calculate the monthly rate (r), we have:

y =a(1 + r)^x

Compare to: y =ab^x

1 + r = b

Make r the subject

r = b-1

Substitute b = 1.1

r = 1.1-1

r = 0.1

Express as percentage

r = 0.1*100\%

r = 10\%
