Answer:
a. Growth
b. 1.3
c. 30%
d. 1
Explanation:
The exponential equation given can be written in the form
[tex]y=1.3^x=1(1.3)^x[/tex]From this form, we see that
a. the function represents a growth since 1.3 > 1
b. the growth factor is 1.3
c. The rate of growth is (1.3 - 1) * 100% = 30%
d. the initial value is 1.
Hence, the answers
a. Growth
b. 1.3
c. 30%
d. 1
