What does

1.05

1.051, point, 05 represent in this expression?

Respuesta :

Answer: 1.05  represents the growth factor of the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a general exponential growth equation :

[tex]y= Ab^x[/tex] , where A = initial value

b = growth factor

x = Time period

The given exponential function : [tex]1350(1.05)^t[/tex]

As we compare the given function to the general exponential growth equation , we get

b= 1.05

That meas the growth factor is 1.05.

Therefore , 1.05  represents the growth factor of the function.

Answer:

The averages wages in the US increase by about 5%, percent each year.
