Choice A is correct. The equation f(x) = (1.84)x4 can be rewritten as f(x) = (1.84)(14)(x) , which is equivalent to f(x) =(1.8414)x , or approximately f(x) = (1.16467)x. Since it's given that f(x) =(1.84)x4can be rewritten as f(x) = ( 1 + p100 )x, where p is a constant, it follows that 1 + p100 is approximately equal to 1.16467. Therefore, p100 is approximately equal to 0.16467. It follows that the value of p is approximately equal to 16.467. Of the given choices, 16 is closest to the value of p.
Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
