Solution:

The growth formula is expressed as


\begin{gathered} A=P(1+r)^t----\text{ equation 1} \\ where \\ (1+r)\Rightarrow growth\text{ factor} \end{gathered}

Given the function:


y=750(1.825)^4---\text{ equation 2}

By comparison, we have


\begin{gathered} P=750 \\ t=4 \\ (1+r)=1.825 \end{gathered}

Hence, the growth factor of the function is


1.825
