Explanation:

The function below best represents a population which triples in size every hour, h? It must be an exponental function.

In mathematics, an exponential function is a function of the form


  • {\displaystyle f(x)=ab^(x),}

where a is the initial value and b is the base number (b>0) , the argument x occurs as an exponent.

In this situation, let assume the initial value is 300 and the base has been given as 3. Hence, our function is:

y = 300*
3^(h)

I hope it can find you well because I can not see all the possible answer clrealy.
