Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex]f(x)=2(4^x)[/tex]

This is a exponential growth function of the form

[tex]f(x)=a(1+r)^x[/tex]

where

a is the initial value

(1+r) is the base of the exponential function or multiplicative rate of change of the function

r is the rate of change

In this problem we have

[tex]a=2\\(1+r)=4\\r=4-1=3=300\%[/tex]

therefore

4 is the base of the exponential function or multiplicative rate of change of the function
