Question 1153447: Determine whether the equation represents exponential growth, exponential decay, or neither. Explain.
y = 11,761(0.91)t
Exponential growth; because the base that is the rate of proportion is greater than 1.
Exponential growth; because the base that is the rate of proportion is less than 1.
Exponential decay; because the base that is the rate of proportion is greater than 1.
Exponential decay; because the base that is the rate of proportion is less than 1.
Neither; because the equation is not an exponential function
Answer by MathLover1(20850) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
recall:
In exponential growth functions, the of the exponent must be greater than .
If the of the exponent were , the function would remain . The graph would be a line.
If the of the exponent were than , but than , the function would be .
Exponential Decay Formula
in your case the of the exponent is which is than ,but greater than , the function would be ; so, you have
answer: Exponential decay; because the base that is the rate of proportion is less than .
