What does

1.05

1.051, point, 05 represent in this expression?

1.05  represents the growth factor of the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a general exponential growth equation :

, where A = initial value

b = growth factor

x = Time period

The given exponential function :

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.

16 is the absolute value
