Answer 2

if the base is less than one, it decays
more than 1, it grows
if exactly 1, no change.

Answer 3

First one is decay.
Second one is growth.
Third one is decay.
Decay is >1, if the base is greater than one it is <1, if it is one, no changes.

Answer 4

Yeah ^

Answer 5

Exactly what he said ^

Answer 6

Wait so the t/4 makes no difference, @Phi?

Answer 7

It's still just the number before the exponent?

Answer 8

it does do something, but it does not affect grow versus decay

t/4 "slows down" whatever is going on

Answer 9

Okay.
And 1. has 2t so won't that mean that 2 is the base? :/

Answer 10

Since it's before t or?

Answer 11

the exponent is the entire "little stuff in the upper right"

Answer 12

Oh yeah, ik ik
Okay, thanks! :)

Answer 13

the base is the "big" number with the exponent

Answer 14

in the first equation, the 200 is neither a base nor exponent. It's a coefficient
and it has very little effect on things
