What does the term 'half-life' refer to in decay processes?

Back

Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half its initial value.

What is the difference between growth and decay in exponential functions?

Back

Growth functions have a base greater than 1, while decay functions have a base between 0 and 1.
