• y = 15,000(1.08)^x

• y = 15,000(0.92)^x

• y = 15,000(0.08)^x

Determine if the equation y = 15(1.35)^x represents exponential growth or decay and justify. Hint: Think about the growth and decay equations.

• Growth, because the scale factor is greater than 1

• Growth, because the scale factor is less than 1

• Decay, because the scale factor is greater than 1

• Decay, because the scale factor is less than 1
