Answer:

Decay

Explanation:

Considering the model:

[Tex]A=1200(.85)^6[/tex]

0.85=1-0.15

Therefore, the model can be rewritten as:

[Tex]A=1200(1-0.15)^6[/tex]

This shows that the model decays by a common ratio of 0.15 or 15%.

In general, when the common ratio is less than 1, the model decays while whenever it is greater than one, there is exponential growth.
