Exponential decay

• Exponential decay is modeled by a function of the form 𝘺=𝘢𝘣^𝘹, with 𝟢<𝘣<𝟣.

• An exponential function is any function of the form 𝘧(𝘹)=𝘢𝘣^𝘹 where a and b are constants with 𝘢≠𝟢, 𝘣>𝟢, and 𝘣≠𝟣.A function that repeatedly multiplies an initial amount by the same positive number. You can model all exponential functions using 𝘺=𝘢𝘣^𝘹, where a is a nonzero constant, 𝘣>𝟢, and 𝘣≠𝟣.

• Exponential growth is modeled by a function of the form 𝘺=𝘢𝘣^𝘹, with 𝘣>𝟣.

• A number sequence formed by multiplying a term in a sequence by a fixed number to find the next term.
