I believe you are right.If x measures time (in years) then the value of y this year is 0.35·2.3^x, and next year it's 0.35·2.3^(x+1)0.35·2.3^x · /annual increase/ = 0.35·2.3^(x+1)2.3^x · /annual increase/ = 2.3^(x+1)/annual increase/ = 2.3^(x+1) / 2.3^x /annual increase/ = 2.3 = 230%edit. I think Ed I is right, but I'm not really familiar with the exact meaning of this term (in english).1+/annual increase/ = 2.3/annual increase/ = 1.3 = 130%... Show More
