Look at the graph of the second function here :
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/6pijgx4idl
The company starts with 25 employees.....so first statement is false
The second statement is true
The third statement is false......the rate of increase is not constant
The last statement is also true......the exponential term in the denominator tends toward 0 as x increases.....so......the frastion becomes ≈ 500/ 1 ≈ 500
