Question

Find the growth factor in the exponential function y = 45000(1.25)5.1.254500050.75

Answer 1

Given:

The exponential function is,

$y=45000\left(1.25\right)^5$

Required:

The growth factor in the exponential function.

Explanation:

The growth function is given by,

$f(t)=a\left(1+r\right)^t$

where, a is initial amount , a>0, t is time and r is rate of increase, r>0.

Hence, growth factor in the exponential function is given by, 1.25.

Final Answer:

Growth factor in the exponential function is 1.25.
