Becky has been tracking the population of a town. the population was 5,340 last year and has been increasing by 1.75 times each year. how can becky develop a function to model this?

a. f(x) = (5340 • 1.75)^x where 1.75 is the rate of growth

b. f(x) = 1.75(5340)^x where 5340 is the rate of growth

c. f(x) = 5340(x)^1.75 where 5340 is the rate of growth

d. f(x) = 5340(1.75)^x where 1.75 is the rate of growth
