Answer: Exponential growth
====================================================
Explanation:
The equation is in the form y = a*(b)^x
The 'a' is the initial or starting value. In this case, a = 15.
The b is the base of the exponent which is tied to growth or decay. If 0 < b < 1, then we have decay. If b > 1, then we have growth.
Since b = 1.35, and 1.35 > 1, this means b > 1 and the given equation represents exponential growth.
Solving 1+r = 1.35 leads to r = 0.35. This means the growth rate is 35%
