Formally, the equations for exponental growth and decay can be written as:
DECAY
y=a(1+r)^x
GROWTH
y=a(1-r)^x
Is it growth or decay? y=670(0.782)^x
growth
decay
Which situation could y=670(0.782)^x represent?
An element with mass 670 grams decays by 21.8% per minute. To the nearest tenth, how many grams of the element remain after 15 minutes?
670 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 7.82%. How much will be in the account after 26 years, to the nearest cent?
A town has a population of 670 and grows at 21.8% every year. What will be the population after 5 years, to the nearest whole number?
A new TV is purchased for 670 dollars. The value of the TV depreciates at 78.2% per year. What will the value of the car be, to the nearest cent, after 11 years?
