Question

determine whether each equation is exponential growth or decay

y=1/4(1.75)^x

y=4.5(7/8)^x

Answer 1

HI!!

Answer 2

it is all in the base
if it is bigger than one, growth
if it is less than one "decay"

Answer 3

so would the first one be decay?
and the secoind be growth?

Answer 4

oh no

Answer 5

the base is the number being raised to the power

Answer 6

but they are both x

Answer 7

\[\huge \frac{1}{4}\left(\color{red}{1.75}\right)^x\]

Answer 8

the base is
\[\color{red}{1.75}\]

Answer 9

so then the first is growth and second decay?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

okay thanks
