Given:


g\mleft(t\mright)=10\mleft(0.62\mright)^t

To find the 1-unit growth factor:

Put t=1 in the given function

We get


\begin{gathered} g\mleft(t\mright)=10\mleft(0.62\mright)^1 \\ =10(0.62) \\ =6.2 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is 6.2.

To find the 2-unit growth factor:

Put t=2 in the given function

We get


\begin{gathered} g\mleft(t\mright)=10\mleft(0.62\mright)^2 \\ =10(0.62)^2 \\ =3.844 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is 3.844.
