Question

The function f(x) = 5(1.24)x models the length (cm) of a lizard from the beginning of a lizard's life. According to the model, which represents the growth factor throughout the lizard's life?
A)1.24
B)5
C)x
D)y

Answer 1

For this case we have a function of the form:
 f (x) = A (b) ^ x
 Where,
 A: initial length
 b: growth rate
 x: time
 We then have the function:
 f (x) = 5 (1.24) ^ x
 According to the model, the growth factor is:
 1.24
 Answer:
 The growth factor throughout the lizard's life is:
 A) 1.24
