Thanks!!!
Do exponential functions only model phenomena that grow, or can they also model phenomena that decay? Explain what is different in the form of the function in each case.

They explain both.
The equation for exponential growth is: where is the total amount, is the initial amount, is the rate, and is the time
This equation can be used for bacteria growth.
The equation for exponential decay is: with the same idea
This equation can be used for finding the value of car that is constantly used.
There are more equations, but these are basic.
