Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
We are given the general form of an exponential function and that is;
Required;
We are required to determine when it represents a growth and when it represents a decay.
Step-by-step solution/explanation;
The exponential function in its expanded form is given as follows;
Take note of the following variables;
Hence, note also, that;
Note also that;
Therefore, if there is a growth, the formula would be;
Which means;
And if there is a decay, the formula would be;
Which means;
Therefore,
