2007 Cyprus MO/Lyceum/Problem 2

Problem

Given the formula $f(x) = 4^x$, then $f(x+1)-f(x)$ equals to

$\mathrm{(A) \ } 4\qquad \mathrm{(B) \ } 4^x\qquad \mathrm{(C) \ } 2\cdot4^x\qquad \mathrm{(D) \ } 4^{x+1}\qquad \mathrm{(E) \ } 3\cdot4^x$

Solution

$f(x+1)-f(x)=4^{x+1}-4^x=4\cdot4^x-4^x=(4-1)\cdot4^x=3\cdot4^x\Rightarrow\mathrm{ E}$
