Question

Please help 100 points if correct answer!

How can you determine if an exponential equation represents exponential growth

A. The initial value is negative

B. The base, b, is 0
C. The base is a negative number

D. The base is a positive number greater than 1

Answer 1

your correct answer is D. The base is a positive number greater than 1.

have a nice day.

Answer 2

D. The base is a positive number greater than 1

Explanation:

The formula for exponential growth and decay is

y =a b^x

where a is the initial value

b = 1 + the growth (or decay rate)

b will be greater than 1 if we have growth and between 0 and 1 if we are decaying
