Question

In the exponential growth function y = 235(1.15)x, what is the

1. growth factor? a

2. percent increase?

Answer 1

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ y = 235(1.15)^x }\)

I would write this as a geometric sequence.

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ 235(1.15)^0,~~~~~~ 235(1.15)^1,~~~~~~ 235(1.15)^2,~~~~~~ 235(1.15)^3,~~~~\rm{and~~~so~~~on.} }\)

Answer 2

So it just grows times 1.15 each time.

Answer 3

Thank you, what percentage did it increase?

Answer 4

Multiply 1.15 times 100, to convert 1.15 to percent.

Answer 5

1.15 x 100= 115

Answer 6

115 percent is incorrct

Answer 7

It increases 115 percent each time.

Answer 8

that's correct.

Answer 9

is there an alternative answer cause it says 115 percent is incorrect
