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

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
