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.

How do you determine if an exponential function represents growth or decay?

Back

An exponential function represents growth if the base is greater than 1 and decay if the base is between 0 and 1.

What does the term 'doubling time' refer to in exponential growth?

Back

Doubling time is the period it takes for a quantity to double in size or value in an exponential growth scenario.

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a real-world exponential model?

Back

In a real-world exponential model, the y-intercept represents the initial value or starting point of the quantity being modeled.
