Determine whether the function is an example of exponential growth or decay. Then, find the y-intercept. Show all work. y = 0.5(1/4)^x

OpenStudy (thefurball):

The equation for exponential growth is\[y = initial(rate) ^{itterations}\]If the value (rate) is less than 1, it will be decaying. If it is greater than 1, it will be growing.

OpenStudy (thefurball):

the y intercept is where x = 0. So, plug in 0 for x. What do you get?

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

y=0.5?

OpenStudy (thefurball):

Yep!
