Identify the initial amount a and the growth factor b in the exponential function. a(x)=30*8.3^x

a.) 30 8.3x,
b.) 30, 8.3
c.) 8.3x, 30
d.) 8.3, 30

Option B is correct.

Initial amount (a) = 30 and growth factor(b) = 8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is of the form:        ....[1]

where

a represents the initial amount

b represents the growth factor and x is the variable

Given the function:

On comparing given equation with [1] we get;

a = 30 and b = 8.3

Therefore, the initial amount(a) = 30 and growth factor(b) = 8.3
