What does the base of an exponential function represent?

Back

The base of an exponential function indicates the growth 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.

What is the difference between exponential growth and exponential decay?

Back

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

How do you express a percentage as a decimal for use in exponential functions?

Back

To express a percentage as a decimal, divide the percentage by 100. For example, 4.29% becomes 0.0429.

What is the significance of the initial value in an exponential function?

Back

The initial value in an exponential function represents the starting amount before any growth or decay occurs.
