Respuesta :
Exponential function is given by [tex]A(t)=A_0(1+r)^t[/tex].
Option (1) will be the correct option.
An exponential function given in the form of [tex]A(t)=A_0(1+r)^t[/tex]represents the growth/decay function.
Here, [tex]A(t)=[/tex] Final value
[tex]A_0=[/tex] Initial value
[tex]t=[/tex] Duration or time
[tex]r=[/tex] Rate of growth or decay
(1 + r) = Growth factor
By comparing this function with the exponential function given for the investment,
[tex]V(t)=30000(1.125)^t[/tex]
[tex](1+r)=(1+0.125)[/tex]
Therefore, 1.125 is the growth factor of the investment.
