This video tutorial covers exponential growth and decay functions, focusing on rewriting equations into exponential form to identify the percent rate of increase or decrease. It explains the components of exponential functions, including the initial amount, rate of change, and time. The tutorial provides examples of rewriting exponential decay and growth functions, demonstrating how to calculate and interpret growth and decay factors.
