An exponent is a superscripted number or value (2x+3, 7, 4, -3, etc) that tells you how many times to multiply an item by itself. For example, 24 (2 with an exponent of 4) is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, or 16.

How can you tell if an exponential function is exponential growth or decay by looking at its base?
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.
