Question

Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay, and determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease.


y=59(0.59)^x

what is the % increase

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=59(0.59)ˣ

As the number under the exponent is less than 1, this is a decay function.

Value of y will be decreased by (1.00 - 0.59)100 =  41% for each unit increase in x.
