The surface area of an oil spill gets 125% larger every day, represented by the function s(x) = (1.25)x − 1. On the first day, it covered an area of 49 square meters. Which function would be used to find the area of the oil spill on the 33rd day? s(x) = (1.25)x − 49 s(x) = (1.25)49 − 1 s(x) = 49(1.25)x − 1 s(x) = 1.25(49)x − 1.

Respuesta :

Answer: Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

On the first day , area covered = 49 sq. feet

Every day, the surface area of an oil spill gets 125% larger.

it is represented as

[tex]s(x)=1.25^{x-1}[/tex]

So, the area of the oil spill becomes after increment is given by

[tex]s(x)=49(1.25)^{x-1}[/tex]

Area of the oil spill on the 33 rd day is given by

[tex]s(33)=49(1.25)^{33-1}=49(1.25)^{32}=77308.37[/tex]

Hence, Third option is correct.
