Answer: B) 4
============================================
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in x = 3 to get
y = 3(4)^x
y = 3(4)^3
y = 3(64)
y = 192
Plug in x = 4 to get
y = 3(4)^x
y = 3(4)^4
y = 3(256)
y = 768
Now divide the two results: 768/192 = 4
This works because as x increases by 1, the y value multiplies by 4 which is the base of the exponent. So we still have "grows by a factor of 4" applying in this situation.
