Consider the exponential function f(x) = 1/5(15x). What is the value of the growth factor of the function?

a.1/5
b.1/3
c.5
d.15

Respuesta :

The answer would have to be 15.

Answer:

Option: d is the correct answer.

      d.   15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a exponential function as:

             [tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{5}(15^x)[/tex]

We know that in general a exponential function is represented by:

        [tex]f(x)=ab^x[/tex]

where a is the initial amount and b represents a growth factor if it is strictly greater than 1 and a decay factor if 0<b<1

Hence, the value of the growth factor of the function is:

                              d.   15
