Jayla starts with a population of 100 amoebas that increases 40% every hour for a number of hours, h. The expression 100(1 + 0.4)h finds the number of amoebas after h hours. Which statement about this expression is true?

The statement that is true is that the expression 100(1 + 0.4)h finds the number of amoebas after h hours.

1.4^h not 1.4 h I think

Apologies for the confusion. Yes, you are correct. The expression 1.4^h finds the number of amoebas after h hours, not 1.4h. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
