Question 150126: Do exponentail functions only model phenomena that grow, or can they also model phenomena that decay? Explain what is different i the form of the function in each case. Answer by Fombitz(13823) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! They can model both, the difference is in the exponent.
For growth, the exponent is positive, function values get larger with time.
For decay, the exponent is negative, function values get smaller with time.
