Answer:

  1.6 times   or   60% more than

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to be asking about the growth factor in the given exponential function.

Exponential function

A generic exponential function will have the form ...

  quantity = (initial value) × (growth factor)^(number of intervals)

Comparing this form to the given formula ...

  f(x) = 58 × 1.6^x

we see the "growth factor" is 1.6. This is the multiplier from one interval (year) to the next.

Each year the expected number of birds is 1.6 times the number the year before.

Additional comment

A growth factor is sometimes expressed in terms of a growth rate, usually a percentage.

  growth factor = 1 + growth rate

  1.6 = 1 + 0.60 = 1 + 60%

The growth rate of this bird population is 60% per year. Each year, the population is 60% more than the year before.
