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

The value of the growth factor (the derivative) is 3.
We can first simplify (1/5)(15x) to (3x) because a fifth of 15 is 3.
For every x-value, the corresponding y-value will be 3 times that.
The graph is always increasing.
