1. identify the initial amount a and the growth factor b in the exponential function. (1 poi

g(x) = 14.2*

o a=14, b= x

o a = 14 b = 2

oa = 28 b= 1

o a = 28 b = x

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function . We are asked to find the amount a and the growth factor b in the exponential function.

We know that an exponential function is in form , where,

y = Final amount.

a = Initial amount,

b = Growth factor,

x = Time

Upon comparing our given graph with exponential growth function, we can see that the initial value (a) is 14 and growth factor is 2.

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
