Question

Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents

growth or decay, and determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease.
y = 2600(0.3)^x

Answer 1

The change represents decay.The percentage decrease is 97%

Explanation:

The change represents decay because the exponential base is less than 1. In this problem, the base is 0.3, which is smaller than 1. To find the percentage decrease, you must subtract 100% from 3%. This gives us a decrease of 97%.
