Question

Identify the function as exponential growth or decay. y = a * (8/5) ^ 0

Answer 1

We conclude that the function represents exponential growth.

Explanation:

Given the function

`y=a\left((8)/(5)\right)^t`

As the function is of the form

• y=abˣ

and base 'b' > 1

We know that when the base 'b' of the exponential function > 1, meaning those numbers will get bigger, we call it exponential growth.

As b=8/5 is bigger than 1.

i.e. 8/5 > 1

Thus, we conclude that the function represents exponential growth.
