To determine which function \( f(x) \) satisfies the given condition, we need to analyze the behavior of each option when the input values are multiplied by 4.<br /><br />Given:<br />- The function \( f \) is an increasing function.<br />- Every time the output values of the function \( f \) increase by 1, the corresponding input values multiply by 4.<br /><br />Let's analyze each option:<br /><br />A. \( f(x) = x^4 \)<br /> - If \( x \) is multiplied by 4, then \( (4x)^4 = 4^4 \cdot x^4 = 256x^4 \). This does not increase the output by 1.<br /><br />B. \( f(x) = 4^x \)<br /> - If \( x \) is multiplied by 4, then \( f(4x) = 4^{4x} = (4^x)^4 = (f(x))^4 \). This does not increase the output by 1.<br /><br />C. \( f(x) = \sqrt[4]{x} \)<br /> - If \( x \) is multiplied by 4, then \( f(4x) = \sqrt[4]{4x} = \sqrt[4]{4} \cdot \sqrt[4]{x} = \sqrt[4]{4} \cdot f(x) \). This does not increase the output by 1.<br /><br />D. \( f(x) = \log_4(x) \)<br /> - If \( x \) is multiplied by 4, then \( f(4x) = \log_4(4x) = \log_4(4) + \log_4(x) = 1 + \log_4(x) = 1 + f(x) \). This increases the output by 1.<br /><br />Therefore, the correct answer is:<br />D. \( \log_4(x) \)
