Question
![Suppose \( y_0 \) is the \( y \)-coordinate of the point of intersection of the graphs below. Complete the statement below in order to correctly describe what happens to \( y_0 \) if the value of \( r \) (in the blue graph of \( f(t) = a(1 + rt)^r \) below) is increased, and all other quantities remain the same.
As \( r \) increases, does the value of \( y_0 \) increase, decrease, or remain the same? [Choose]
**Graph Explanation:**
The graph consists of two functions:
1. **Blue curve**: Represents the function \( f(t) = a(1 + rt)^r \). This graph is upward-curving, indicating exponential growth as \( t \) increases.
2. **Red line**: Represents the function \( g(t) = b + mt \). This graph is a straight line, indicating linear growth.
The point of intersection between the blue curve and the red line is labeled as \( (t_0, y_0) \).
