We have explored graphs of exponential growth and exponential decay functions of the form \(f(x)=ab^x\). Now we will look at exponential growth and decay models that are variations of this function.
In terms of applications, exponential growth or decay means that the ending value increases or decreases more rapidly as the period of growth or decay increases (think: end behavior). Some common growth examples include, but are not limited to, population growth and monetary investments. Some common decay examples include population decline, depreciation and half-life.
