exponential growth and decay

Write an equation that models the following situation:
Samantha's hair was known to grow very rapidly. It began at a length of 6 in and grew at a rate of 14% a week.

• y=6(0.14)^x
• y=6(1+14)^x
• y=6(1.14)^x
• y=6(0.86)^x

What type of function is y = 7(5/4)^x?

• Exponential Growth
• Exponential Decay
• Linear
• None of the above

Classify the model as Exponential GROWTH or DECAY.
A=1200(.85)⁶

• Growth
• Decay

What is a, the initial amount, for the function: f(x) = 300(1.16)^x?

• 300
• 1.16
• .16
• x

Suppose a culture of bacteria begins with 5000 cells and dies by 30% each year. Write an equation that represents this situation.

• y=5000(0.7)^x
• y=30(5000)^x
• y=5000(1.3)^x
• y=5000x^x

Is this exponential growth or decay?

• Growth
• Decay
• Linear

Which of the following functions shows an initial amount of $15 and an increase of 35% each year?

• y = 15(35)^x
• y = 15(1.35)^x
• y = 15(0.35)^x
• y = 35(1.15)^x

What type of function is f(x)=2(1/7)^x ?

• Exponential Growth
• Linear
• Exponential Decay
• None of the Abovee
