It can be growth or decay - it depends on whether n is positive (growth) or negative (decay).
That you have an exponential function. These functions are typical for certain practical problems, such as population growth, or radioactive decay (with a negative exponent in this case).
If the exponent has the variable of time in it, then it will be either exponential growth (such as compound interest for example), or exponential decay (such as radioactive materials, or a capacitor discharging). If the time constant (coefficient of the time variable) is positive then it is growth, if the time constant is negative, then it is decay.
The domain for all exponential growth and decay functions is the set of all real numbers, typically expressed as ((-∞, ∞)). This is because exponential functions can take any real number as an input, resulting in a corresponding output that represents either growth or decay, depending on the base of the exponent.
That means that the growth is equal to, or similar to, an exponential function, which can be written (for example) as abx, for constants "a" and "b". One characteristic of exponential growth is that the function increases by the same percentage in the same time period. For example, it increases 5%, or equivalently by a factor of 1.05, every year.
No, the equation y = 102x is not exponential. An exponential function is of the form y = a * b^x, where a and b are constants. In this case, the equation y = 102x is a linear function, as it represents a straight line with a slope of 102 and no exponential growth or decay.
Reverend Thomas Malthus developed the concept of Exponential Growth (another name for this is Malthusian growth model.) However the mathematical Exponent function was already know, but not applied to population growth and growth constraints. Exponential Decay is a natural extension of Exponential Growth
It is not enough to look at the base. This is because a^x is the same as (1/a)^-x : the key is therefore a combination of the base and the sign of the exponent.0 < base < 1, exponent < 0 : growth0 < base < 1, exponent > 0 : decaybase > 1, exponent < 0 : decaybase > 1, exponent > 0 : growth.
To determine if an equation represents exponential growth or decay, look at the base of the exponential function. If the base is greater than 1 (e.g., (y = a \cdot b^x) with (b > 1)), the function represents exponential growth. Conversely, if the base is between 0 and 1 (e.g., (y = a \cdot b^x) with (0 < b < 1)), the function indicates exponential decay. Additionally, the sign of the exponent can also provide insight into the behavior of the function.

both have steep slopes both have exponents in their equation both can model population
If your equation is y=0.682x then yes

Oh, dude, it's like totally adding "-ial" to "exponent" to get "exponential." It's like when you're at a party, and suddenly everyone starts doing the Macarena - that's exponential growth in embarrassment levels, my friend.
Any number below negative one.
The r value in the exponential equation is the rate of natural increase expressed as a percentage (birth rate - death rate). So the math includes the birth rate and the death rate when implementing the equation. Students may have a hard time understanding that population growth is controlled not only by birth and death rates but also by the present population. The mathematics of exponential growth govern the prediction of population growth. Your welcome Ms. Musselma...'s class.
