This chapter describes a wide variety of exponential behavior models, including population growth, radioactive decay, charging and discharging of capacitors, inflation and interest, and armies at war. The rate of change of a variable, whether positive (as it grows) or negative (as it decays), ...
Exponential Decay: y = a(1 -r)x Remember that the original exponential formula wasy = abx. You will notice that in these new growth and decay functions, thebvalue (growth factor) has been replaced either by (1 +r) or by (1 -r). The growth "rate" (r) is determined asb= 1 +r...

exponential growth or decay function is a function that grows or shrinks at a constant percent growth rate. The equation can be written in the formf(x) = a(1 + r)xor f(x) = abxwhere b = 1 + r. Exponential Growth and Decay Word Problems & Functions - Algebra & Precalculus ...
Does the following function model exponential growth or decay? {eq}f(t) = \frac{1}{4} \cdot 4^t {/eq} Exponential Growth: An exponential growth function can be represented by the following equation: $$f(x)=ab^x $$ Here, {eq}a {/eq} represents the initial valu...
Investigating Continuous Growth So far we have worked with rational bases for exponential functions. For many real-world phenomena, however, e is used as the base for exponential functions. Exponential models that use ee as the base are called continuous growth or decay models. We see these ...

Growth and DecayBut sometimes things can grow (or the opposite: decay) exponentially, at least for a while.So we have a generally useful formula:y(t) = a × ekt Where y(t) = value at time "t" a = value at the start k = rate of growth (when >0) or decay (when <0) t =...
