We have the given equation is y=8000(1.9)x
After seeing the equation it is clear that it is neither quadratic growth nor quadratic decay and it is also same for linear.
We also know that the exponential growth and decay is given by the formula
y=abx where ane0, the base bne1 and x is any real number.
Now, if b>1then the function represents exponential growth and if 0 Comparing the given function we get
a=8000 and b=1.09>1
Therefore, we can say that the given equation is an exponential growth.
