Answer:
growth, decay, growth, decay, decay
Step-by-step explanation:
If you raise 1 to any positive power you get 1.
If you raise a number greater than 1 to any positive power, you get more than 1. For example, 1.5^2 = 2.25, and 2.25 > 1.
If you raise a number between 0 and 1 to a positive power, you get a number that is less than 1. For example, 0.5^2 = 0.25.
Now look at each example. If the quantity raised to a power is greater than 1, it will give an answer greater than 1, so it is exponential growth.
If the quantity raised to a power is between 0 and 1, the result is less than 1, and it is exponential decay.
A. 1.3^t
1.3 > 1; this is growth.
B. 0.95^t
0.95 is between 0 and 1, so this is decay.
C. 1.03^t
1.03 > 1; this is growth
D. 0.73^t
0.73 is between 0 and 1, so this is decay.
E. 0.25^t
0.25 is between 0 and 1, so this is decay.
