Exponential Functions and Decay

The video tutorial explains how to write an exponential function that passes through two given points, (0, 800) and (3, 6.4). It covers determining the initial value 'A', calculating the base 'B' using the cube root method, and verifying the function by graphing. The tutorial also discusses the exponential decay rate and evaluates the function value when X equals 1.

How is the base 'B' of the exponential function determined?

• By using the initial value and solving for B

• By taking the square root of the function value
