What does the base of an exponential function indicate?

Back

In an exponential function, if the base is greater than 1, it indicates growth. If the base is between 0 and 1, it indicates decay.

What is the difference between linear and exponential growth?

Back

Linear growth increases by a constant amount, while exponential growth increases by a constant percentage, leading to faster growth over time.

What does the term 'half-life' refer to in Exponential Decay?

Back

Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half its initial value in an exponential decay process.
