Consider the exponential function f(x) =1/5(15x). What is the value of the growth factor of the function?

A1/5

B1/3

C5

D15

Verified Answer :

The answer is 100% D - 15

we know that

An exponential function is a function where the input, x, appears in the exponent.

the equation of an exponential function usually looks like:

\(y=ab^{x}\)

where

a is a number called the initial value

b is a number called the growth factor

In this problem

we have

\(f(x) =\frac{1}{5}(15^{x})\)

where

\(\frac{1}{5}\) -------> is the initial value

\(15\) ------> is the growth factor

therefore

the answer is the option

\(D. 15\)
