Question

Consider the exponential function f(x) = (15x). What is the value of the growth factor of the function?

Answer 1

The value of the growth factor of the function is 15. To add to your answer, exponential growth happens when the rate of the number of the function corresponds with the present value of the function. This then lets its increase together with time be called an exponential function. 

Answer 2

For this case we have a function of the form:

`y = A (b) ^ x`
Where,
A: initial amount
b: rate of change
x: independent variable
y: dependent variable
When b> 1 then the exponential function grows
For this case we have that the exponential function written correctly is given by:

`f (x) = (15) ^ x`
We observe that the growth factor is:

`b = 15 (\ \textgreater \ 1)` Therefore, the function grows.
Answer:
the value of the growth factor of the function is:

`b = 15`
