A n example of Lesson 16.2 modeling exponential growth and decay is find out if y =5(2)ˣ is exponential growth or decay.
One can know if a function is an exponential growth or decay when it has a as positive and b is said to be greater than 1 (to be exponential growth).
If a is said to be positive and b is said to be lower than 1 but when it is also greater than 0, we can say that it is an exponential decay.
From the above, y =5(2)ˣ is an exponential growth because the base is said to be greater than 1 and the exponent contain a positive notation.
