Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponential - function form

The general form of an exponential function is $y = A e^{kx}$, where $A>0$. If $k>0$, the function is an exponential growth function; if $k < 0$, the function is an exponential decay function.

Step2: Analyze the given function

In the function $f(x)=Ae^{0.55x}$, we have $k = 0.55>0$. So, it is an exponential growth function, not an exponential decay function.

Answer:

False
