Question

How do you determine whether each function represents exponential growth or decay `y=3(5/2)^x`?

Answer 1

It's exponential growth

Explanation:

Exponential functions are in the form `y=ab^x`

If `a` is positive and `b` is greater than `1`, then it is exponential growth. If `a` is positive and `b` is less than `1` but greater than `0`, then it is exponential decay.

`5/2` is greater than `1`
