Question

HELP!!!!!!!! Explain how to determine if a function is exponential growth or exponential decay? Give and example of each.

Answer 1

Formula is given in the picture

Explanation:

For the exponential growth we have the formula

Exponential functions are in the form

y = ab^ x

If a is positive and b is greater than 1, then it is exponential growth. If a is positive and b is less than 1 but greater than 0, then it is exponential decay.

For Example

2 months ago you had 3 mice, you now have 18 shows and exponential growth

And

Atmospheric pressure (the pressure of air around you) decreases as you go higher shows exponential decay.
