Answer:
The initial value is 900
It is experiencing exponential growth by 27%
Explanation:
Exponential functions are in the form
, where a is the initial value, b is the multiplier, and x is the input, such as how many years past a certain date.
Exponential growth is when the multiplier is above 1.00, or above 100%, because b is determined by 1 + r if you have exponential growth, or 1 - r if you have exponential decay. You will never use negatives with exponential decay.
