You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the model y = 17(1.9)^x is classified as
a. exponential growth
b. exponential decay.
Since 1.9 is greater than 1, it is exponential growth.

The model y = 22(0.8)^x is classified as
a. exponential growth
b. exponential decay.
Since 0.8 is greater than zero and less than one
it is exponential decay.
