Answer:

growth, decay, growth, decay, decay

Explanation:

If you raise 1 to any positive power you get 1.

If you raise a number greater than 1 to any positive power, you get more than 1. For example, 1.5^2 = 2.25, and 2.25 > 1.

If you raise a number between 0 and 1 to a positive power, you get a number that is less than 1. For example, 0.5^2 = 0.25.

Now look at each example. If the quantity raised to a power is greater than 1, it will give an answer greater than 1, so it is exponential growth.

If the quantity raised to a power is between 0 and 1, the result is less than 1, and it is exponential decay.

A. 1.3^t

1.3 > 1; this is growth.

B. 0.95^t

0.95 is between 0 and 1, so this is decay.

C. 1.03^t

1.03 > 1; this is growth

D. 0.73^t

0.73 is between 0 and 1, so this is decay.

E. 0.25^t

0.25 is between 0 and 1, so this is decay.
