Question

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

1. growth factor?

2. percent increase?

Answer 1

\[increase = 235(1.15)x - x= (235(1.15) - 1 )x= 270.25 x\]\[\%increase = \frac {270.25 x}{x} \times 100= 270.25 \%\]

Answer 2

wait, is that \[(1.15)^x\]?

Answer 3

oops, sorry I wrote it wrong. It is ^x

Answer 4
