Sabrina is tracking the growth rates of a colony of ants and of a bee hive. From her research, she has developed a function to represent the population growth of each type of insect, where y represents the population and x represents the number of weeks since Sabrina began her research.


Which insect population is growing at a faster rate?
The ant colony is growing at a faster rate. It will multiply by 3.8 each week while the bee hive will add 3.8 each week.
The bee hive is growing at a faster rate. It will multiply by 3.8 each week while the ant colony will add 3.8 each week.
The ant colony is growing at a faster rate. It will add 3.8 each week while the bee hive will subtract 3.8 each week.
The bee hive is growing at a faster rate. It will add 3.8 each week while the ant colony will divide by 3.8 each week.
