Answer: Growth factor will be 0.15 and percent increase will be 15%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
the exponential growth function

1) We need to find the growth factor :
As we know the formula for "Compound Interest ":

If we compare the formula with our given equation, we get

So, the growth factor is at the rate of 0.15.
2) Percent increase will be

Hence, growth factor will be 0.15 and percent increase will be 15%.
All you have to do here is convert the mixed number measurements to inches. Because there are 12 inches in a foot, 5ft. 3in. becomes 63 inches. 2ft. 8in. becomes 32 inches. 63-32=31 inches, which is 2ft. 7in.
