Question

Classify the model as Exponential GROWTH or DECAY. A=1200(.85)^6

Answer 1

Answer:

Decay

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the model:

$A=1200(.85)^6$

0.85=1-0.15

Therefore, the model can be rewritten as:

$A=1200(1-0.15)^6$

This shows that the model decays by a common ratio of 0.15 or 15%.

In general, when the common ratio is less than 1, the model decays while whenever it is greater than one, there is exponential growth.
