Does each equation represent exponential decay or exponential growth?
Drag and drop the choices into the boxes to correctly complete the table.
Note: If an equation is neither exponential growth nor exponential decay, do not drag it to the table.
Exponential Decay Exponential Growth
An equation is an expression of exponential growth if the base of the exponential term is more than 1 and it is an exponential decay if the base number is less than 1.
A. H=5.9 (0.82)^t Base number: 0.82 --> exponential decay
B. y=0.8 (3.6)^t Base number = 3.6 --> exponential growth
C. f(t)=0.72 (15)^t Base number = 15 --> exponential growth
D. A=4/9 (8)^t Base number = 8 --> exponential growth
E. A= (4/3)^t Base number = 4/3 --> exponential growth
F. H= 7/2 (5/6)^t Base number = 5/6 ---> exponential decay
