We are given:
[tex]f(x)=80(1.032)^x[/tex]From this we have that the initial value of the function is 80.
The growth factor is 3.2%.
***Explanation***
We have that the exponentil growth function follows:
[tex]f(x)=a_1(1+r)^x[/tex]Here "a1" is the initial value and "r" is the rate in decimal form (0.1 = 10%, 1 = 100% and so on).
