What does the base of an exponential function indicate?

Back

The base of an exponential function indicates the growth or decay factor. If the base is greater than 1, the function represents exponential growth; if the base is between 0 and 1, it represents exponential decay.

Front

What is the difference between exponential growth and exponential decay?

Back

Exponential growth occurs when the base of the function is greater than 1, leading to an increase in value. Exponential decay occurs when the base is between 0 and 1, leading to a decrease in value.

This is an example of exponential decay.

How can you determine if a function is exhibiting exponential growth?

Back

You can determine exponential growth by checking if the base of the function is greater than 1.
