Question

Y = 100 (1- 1/2) ^t decay or growth

Answer 1

Answer:

Decay

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an equation $y=100(1-0.5)^t$

We need to say about decay or growth of exponential function.

Exponential function: $y=a\cdot b^x$

Where,

• a is initial value of exponential function.
• b is decay or growth of function

For decay: 0<b<1

For growth: b>1

Now we rewrite the equation into this form

$y=100(1-0.5)^t$

Changes to

$y=100(0.5)^t$

Here, b=0.5 < 1

Therefore, The given function would be decay.

Thus, $y=100(1-0.5)^t$ is deacy.
