1. What is the difference between an exponential growth and exponential decay? 2. What is an example equation for expoential growth and an example equation for exponential decay?

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an exponential equation is: y = a(b)ˣ    where

Growth:

Exponential growth is where the final value (y) is greater than the initial value (a).

An example would be the spreading of a rumor:  

You tell 1 person (a = 1) who then tells 2 people each minute (b = 2).  How many people will they have spread the rumor to after 5 minutes (x = 5)?

y = 1(2)⁵

  = 32

Decay:

Exponential decay is where the final value (y) is less than the initial value (a).

An example would be the decrease of bacteria in a person:

A person has 100 bacteria (a = 1) who takes a pill that is supposed to cut in half the number of bacteria each hour (b = 1/2).  How many bacteria will the person have after 2 hours (x = 2)?
