The function f (x) = 2 (3) x represents the growth of a dragonfly population every year in a remote swamp. Rose wants to manipulate the formula to an equivalent form that calculates seven times a year, not just once a year. Which function is correct for Rose's purpose, and what is the new growth rate? f (x) = 2 (3) x; growth rate 200% f (x) = 2 (1.17) 7x; growth rate 17% f (x) = 2 (3) x, growth rate 2% f (x) = 2 (1.17) x; growth rate 2%
