Osama starts with a population of 1,000 amoebas that increases 30% in size every hour for a number of hours, h. the expression 1,000(1+0.3)h finds the number of amoebas after h hours. which statement about this expression is true? a. it is the product of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours. b. it is the sum of the initial population and the percent increase. c. it is the initial population raised to the growth factor after h hours. d. it is the sum of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours.

The correct option is A, itis the product of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours.

Explanation:

From the given information,

Initial population = 1000

Increasing rate or growth rate = 30% every hour.

No of population increase in every hour is,

Total population after h hours is,

It is in the form of,

Where is the initial population, r is increasing rate, t is time and [tex(1+r)^t[/tex]  is the growth factor after time t.

In the above equation 1000 is the initial population and is the growth factor after h hours. So the equation is product of of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours.

Therefore, the correct option is A, itis the product of the initial population and the growth factor after h hours.
