Answer 1

Answer:D

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

230 is the  value of the company in 2018.

Option (B) is correct.

To find 230 represent in the function.

What is arithmetic?

science that deals with the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of numbers.

It is given that:

The equation of a exponential growth function is equal to

$V(t)=a(1+r)^{t}$

where,

V(t) is the value of the company

t is the number of years after 2018

a is the initial value or y-intercept

r is the rate of change

Put the value,

a=230

1+r=1.12

r=1.12-1=0.12

r=12%

so 230 is the value of the company when the value of t is equal to zero.

Remember that t is the number of years since 2018

Therefore ,230 is the  value of the company in 2018.
