Question

1. consider the function $y = 0.54(0.3)^x$. 14a identify what type of function this is: exponential growth exponential decay

Explanation:

The general form of an exponential function is \( y = a(b)^x \). If \( 0 < b < 1 \), it is an exponential decay function; if \( b>1 \), it is exponential growth. Here, \( b = 0.3 \), and \( 0<0.3<1 \), so this is an exponential decay function.

Answer:

B. Exponential decay
