Exponential Functions

Find growth/decay rates from exponential equations

Find the growth/decay rate for each exponential equation.

\(y = 180 \cdot 1.76^{x}\)

Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions. For example, identify percent rate of change in functions such as y = (1.02)ᵗ, y = (0.97)ᵗ, y = (1.01)12ᵗ, y = (1.2)ᵗ/10, and classify them as representing exponential growth or decay.
