An exponential equation is represented as:
, where b represents rate
- Exponential growth:
,
and 
- Exponential decay:

- Neither:

An exponential equation is said to represent growth, if the rate is greater than 1, while it represents decay if the rate is less than 1.
This means that:
,
and
represent exponential growth because 5, 4.2 and 1.3 are greater than 1
Also,
represents exponential decay because 0.28 is less than 1
While
is not an exponential function

That’s easy There you go wait why isn’t it letting me put it
We have:
5(x + 7) = 85 |divide both sides by 5
x + 7 = 17 |subtract 7 from both sides
x = 10
Dilation of 3. Just count the squares... the smaller one has 3 squares and the larger has 9.
