Let us see... ideally we would like to have all equations with the same exponent or the same base so that we can compare the rates. Since the unknown is in the exponent, we have to work with them. In general, ![x^(y/z)= \sqrt[z]{x^y}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%28y%2Fz%29%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bz%5D%7Bx%5Ey%7D%20)
.
Applying this to the exponential parts of the functions, we have that the first equation is equal to:
250*(![\sqrt[5]{1.45} ^t](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B1.45%7D%20%5Et)
)=250*(1.077)^t
The second equation is equal to: 200* (1.064)^t in a similar way.
We have that the base of the first equation is higher, thus the rate of growth is faster in the first case; Choice B is correct.
