An initial population of 7 chipmunks increases by 6% each year. If the function f (x) = ab^x models this situation, which function could you use to find the population after 8 years?

A) f (x) = 8 (1.06) ^7

B) f (x) = 7 (1.06) ^8

C) f (x) = 7 (0.06) ^8

D) f (x) = 8 (0.06) ^7

f (x) = ab^x

a = 7

b = (106/100) = 1.06
