SOLUTION
Step 1: Write down the standard form of an exponential function
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=a(b)^t \\ \text{where} \\ a\text{ is the starting/initial value } \\ b\text{ is the constant multiplier/growth factor} \\ t\text{ is time.} \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2: Use the above definition to answer the question.
[tex]n=10(3)^t[/tex]In the above situation, therefore:
10 means starting/initial value.
3 means constant multiplier/growth factor.
