Identify the initial amount a and the growth or decay factor b in the exponential function. y = 0.01025^x

The initial amount a = 1

The growth or decay factor  = 0.01025

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function.

y = 0.01025^x

The initial amount a = 1

The growth or decay factor  = 0.01025

The exponential equation can be rewritten as Y = 1(0.01025)^x

step-by-step explanation:

i think you should think about the question and not look online.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square
