Question

consider the exponential function f(x)= 1/5(15x) what is the value of the growth factor of the function?

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

because you put the one and the five and BOOM the inter carol makes the wheel go round and round.

Answer 2

15

Explanation:

The general form of an exponential equation is ...

f(x) = (initial value)(growth factor)^x

That is, the "growth factor" is the base of the exponent. In your equation ...

f(x) = (1/5)(15^x)

the growth factor is 15.
