Question

Given the function F(t) = 34000(.98)' describe whether this function is growing or decaying, and by what percent. What is the initial value, and what might this situation represent in context?

Answer 1

The  function F(t) = 34000(.98)^t, since b = 0.98 < 1, hence the function is decaying and the initial value of the expression is 34,000.

Exponential equation

The inverse of exponential equation is logarithmic equation. The standard exponential equation is expressed as;

y = ab^x

where

a is the initial value

b determine the growth rate or decay.

If the value if b < 1, then it  is a decay otherwise it is growth.
