Question

Select the equations that represent exponential growth (choose 2)

Answer 1

The standard form for an exponential function is $y=a(b)^x$ where is the initial value and b is the growth factor.  If b > 1, then it is an exponential growth function, and if 0 < b < 1, then it is an exponential decay function.  The b values that are greater than 1 are in A and C.  The b values in B and D are greater than 0 but are less than 1 so those are decay.  A and C are your answers.
