1. Which of the following functions represents exponential decay?
y = 3(1.2)^x
y = 5(0.8)^x
y = 2x + 7
y = x^2 - 4
2. The initial amount in an exponential growth model is represented by:
The base
The exponent
The coefficient
The variable
3. The general form of an exponential function is y = a(b)^x, where 'a' represents the and 'b' represents the .
4. If the growth rate of a population is 5% per year, the growth factor 'b' in the exponential model will be .
5. A radioactive substance decays at a rate of 10% per hour. If you start with 200 grams, write an equation that models the amount of the substance remaining after 't' hours.
6. A savings account earns 3% annual interest, compounded annually. If you deposit $1000, how much money will be in the account after 5 years? Show your work.
