Question

the base of an exponential function is 1.024. is the base a growth decay factor, why or why not

Answer 1

If the base is greater than 1, then you have a case of exponential growth.

Answer 2

I think it depends on the depends on what result you are looking for if it is the exponential model used in the problem. In this problem, it does show how someone gets this results. Both the exponential growth and decay can be used in exponential functions.
