SOLUTION: What is the y intercept and does it represent exponential growth or decay of y=327(0.05)^x? Is the y intercept 327 because you plug in zero for the exponent? Is it an exponential d

Question 954573: What is the y intercept and does it represent exponential growth or decay of y=327(0.05)^x? Is the y intercept 327 because you plug in zero for the exponent? Is it an exponential decay because of the 0.05?

Yes the y-intercept is 327 which is the point (0,327)

We have exponential decay because the base 0.05 is less than 1 (but also positive).
