Answer:

Rate
\rightarrow the proportion of growth is 0.03 or 3%

Co-efficient
\rightarrow The initial number of books is 1000

Exponent
\rightarrow The percentage multiplied by number of years is
0.03t

base
\rightarrow This is continuous growth which is represented by
e

Explanation:

Given:

Initial number of books = 1000

Rate of growth = 3%

To find the exponential expression to model the number of books in the library after
t years.

Solution:

The continuous exponential growth equation is given by:


F_v=P_ve^(rt)

where
F_v\rightarrow final value


P_v\rightarrow initial value


e\rightarrow exponential
e=2.71828183....


r\rightarrow rate of growth


t\rightarrow time

Given data:


P_v=1000\ books\\r=3\%=0.03\\t=t \ years

Plugging in the given values in the formula:


F_v=1000e^(0.03t)

So, we have

Rate
\rightarrow the proportion of growth is 0.03 or 3%

Co-efficient
\rightarrow The initial number of books is 1000

Exponent
\rightarrow The percentage multiplied by number of years is
0.03t

base
\rightarrow This is continuous growth which is represented by
e
