Differentiate Between Exponential Growth & Decay

How can you determine from an exponential equation if it models exponential decay?

• The equation will have an a value that is greater than 1

• The equation will have a b value that is greater than 1

• The equation will have a b value that is less than 1

• The equation will have an a value that is less than 1
