Answer: A function that increases by a factor of 10 over every unit interval in x and starts at f(0)=1 could be represented by the function rule f(x) = 10^x.

This function starts at f(0) = 10^0 = 1 and for every increase of 1 in the input x, the output f(x) increases by a factor of 10. For example:

f(1) = 10^1 = 10

f(2) = 10^2 = 100

f(3) = 10^3 = 1000

and so on.

Another possible function rule could be f(x) = 10x +1 it starts at f(0) = 1 and for every increase of 1 in the input x, the output f(x) increases by a factor of 10. for example:

f(1) = 101 +1 = 11

f(2) = 102 +1 = 21

f(3) = 103 +1 = 31

and so on.

Both functions have similar behavior and answer the given conditions.
