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.

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

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

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

Hence, Third option is correct.
