Question

How do i describe what each variable and parameter means in an exponential equation
y=a(b)x

Answer 1

A general exponential equation is written as:

y = a*(b)^x

Where:

y represents the amount of something as a function of the variable x, where x is an independent variable.

a is the initial amount, this is, the value of y when x = 0.

b is the rate of growth, this defines how much changes the value of y as x increases.
