The general formula for exponential growth and decays is:

if k>0 then then it is an exponential growth function. If k<0 then the function represents an exponential decay.
Now we need to classify each of the functions:
1.
The function

can be wrtten as:

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=2, therefore this is an exponential growth.
2.
The function

can be written as:

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-4, therefore this is an exponential decay.
3.
The function

comparing with the general formula we notice that k=-1, therefore this is an exponential decay.
<u>Define x:</u>
Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number is x + 2
<u>Construct equation:</u>
<span>twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
</span>⇒2x = x + 2 - 16
<u>Solve x:</u>
2x = x + 2 - 16
x = -14
<u>Find the two numbers:</u>
Smaller number = x = -14
Larger number = x + 2 = -12
Answer: The two numbers are -14 and -12
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 can be multiplied by 5 to equal 15ths since we can know 15 (seconds number fraction) is 5 times the originals (first numbers fractions)
This equals to 10/15 and means that with 1/15th on each 10 sandwiches can be made.
The answer gives it straight forward but explanation gets in depth
Edit: I saw your answer and yes it equals 10 but you multiply what it is a fraction of too.
2/3
x5
10/15

Answer:
Find something the parts of the equation (which are separated by a sign (+, -, x, or /)) and sort of un-distribute a common number out.
Step-by-step explanation:
Example: 5x + 10
Step One: Find what number they have in common. (5)
Step Two: Divide it from both parts of the equation and put it outside parentheses.
Step Three (result): 5(x+2)
