A rumor that was told initially to three people is spreading at a rate of 5% each week. The following function represents the weekly spread of the rumor: f (x) = 3 (1.05) x. Rewrite the function to show how quickly the rumor spreads each day and calculate this rate as a percentage.

f (x) = 3 (1.007) 7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.7% daily

f (x) = 3 (1.05) 7x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.5% daily

f (x) = 3 (0.15) x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.15% daily

f (x) = 3 (1.007) x; spreads at a rate of approximately 0.07% daily
