Twenty years ago a small town in texas had a population of 10,000. the population has increased 8% each year since then. what is the growth factor that would be used to solve this problem? a. the growth factor would be 8 b. the growth factor would be 0.08 c. the growth factor would be 1.08 d. the growth factor would be 0.92

     c. The growth factor would be 1.08  .

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth model is given by :-

, where A is the initial value, r is the rate of growth and n is the time period.

Also, the growth factor = 1+r

Given: The rate of increase of population = 8%=0.08

Now, the growth factor =

Therefore, the growth factor would be 1.08.

if x decreases by 4 then y increases by 10
