Growth

OpenStudy (dan815):

P = 500(1.03)^n make sure u add that exponent sigh

OpenStudy (dan815):

sign

\(\large k^n\) increases as n increases for \( k> 1\) \(\large k^n \) decreases as n increases for \(0 \lt k \lt 1\) In your case, you have k = 1.03, which is greater than 1, so this function is growth.
