Question 984020: The function f(x) = 396(3)x represents the growth of a dragonfly population every year in a remote swamp. Pierre wants to manipulate the formula to an equivalent form that calculates every month, not every year. Which function is correct for Pierre's purposes?
a. f(x) = 33(3)x
b. f(x) = 396(312)the x over 12 power
c. f(x) = 396(3 to the one twelfth power)12x
d. f(x) = 4752(3)x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x represents the number of years
if one year has 12 months, then x years will have 12x months
so, your answer is:
f%28x%29+=+396%283%5E%281%2F12%29%29%5E%2812x%29
