Question

Is this a exponential growth or a exponential decay function

Answer 1

Given:

`y=5(3)^x`

We are required to determine if the function given is an exponential growth or exponential decay function.

The term carrying the index (3) is more than 1, hence, the value of the function increases in proportion to its current value. Thus it is an exponential growth function.

Answer: Exponential growth
