Question 587053: I would like to know how to figure out if a function is NEITHER exponential growth or decay! For example, is the following function neither!?: (please explain why or why not)
y=3*((e^-1)^x)-8
Thanks in advance! :-)

I would like to know how to figure out if a function is NEITHER exponential growth or decay! For example, is the following function neither!?: (please explain why or why not)
y=3*((e^-1)^x)-8
y = 3*e^(-x)-8
---------------------------
It's a decay function with a horizontal asymptote at y = -8
