The function f(x) = 3^x is often referred to as the "tripling function" because f(x) triples whenever x changes by 1. Give two more distinct examples of tripling functions (functions whose outputs triple whenever the input changes by 1). • f(x) = 3^x • g(x) = • h(x) =

Step 1
The function g(x) = 3^(x+1) is a tripling function. If we increase x by 1, we get g(x+1) = 3^(x+2) = 3 * 3^(x+1) = 3 * g(x), so the output triples. Show more…
