The exponential growth is:
And its graph is the first one.
The exponential decay is:
And its graph is the second one.
<h3>How to identify the exponential equations?</h3>
The general exponential equation is of the form:
Where A is the initial value and b is the base.
- If b > 1, then we have an exponential growth.
- if 1 > b > 0, then we have an exponential decay.
Here the two functions are:
As you can see, the base for the first one is smaller than 1, then it is an exponential decay (and it has a decreasing graph, so the graph of this one is the second graph).
For the second function, we have the base b = 1.25, which is larger than 1, so it is an exponential growth, and its graph is an increasing graph, which is the first one.
