Q

exponential decay

A

an exponential equation with a base, b, that is between 0 and 1 (0 < b < 1); can be represented by the formula y = a(1 – r)t, where a is the initial value, (1 – r) is the decay rate, t is time, and y is the final value

Q

exponential equation

A

an equation that has a variable in the exponent; the general form is y = a • b x, where a is the initial value, b is the base, x is the time, and y is the final output value.
