Math Reflection 3

1.a. You could make an equation by substituting the growth rate(as a decimal and added to 1) as b and the initial value as a.You then substitute the number of years as the x.
1.b.The growth rate is what percent of the original is added to itself. The growth factor is the original value added to what ever is added to the original value.

2.a.You could make an equation using a=initial value b=growth factor. You could then substitute the number of years for x.
2.b. You make the growth factor a percent value and subtract 100% from it.

3. You figure out the amount of years it takes for the growth factor to equal 2 using guess and check.
