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.

What is meaning of exponent with variable?
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).
Is the equation P500(1.03) with an exponent of n a model of Growth or Exponential Decay?
It can be growth or decay - it depends on whether n is positive (growth) or negative (decay).
What is the exponent if an exponent is not given?
if there is no exponent shown, then the exponent is 1. ex: 41
What is the exponent in 10 to the 5 power?
Power = 5 = exponent. That is, exponent = 5.
What is the lost exponent?
what is the loose exponent
When do you use exponential functions?
There are several uses for those; basically any situation where a rate of change is proportional to a quantity. The growth of a population growth under ideal conditions (with a positive exponent) and radioactive decay (with a negative exponent) are common example.There are several uses for those; basically any situation where a rate of change is proportional to a quantity.

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.

What is the smallest raised number in a power that tells how many times the base is used as a factor?
The exponent.
Who invented exponentail growth and exponential 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

Is 25 an exponent?
Yes, 25 CAN BE and exponent. Any number can be and exponent
What is the exponent of meter?
The exponent is a characteristic of a number. A measurement unit does not have an exponent. Since a metre is a measurement unit, it does not have an exponent.
What is the exponent in 10 to the 5 power?
Power = 5 = exponent. That is, exponent = 5.
What is the lost exponent?
what is the loose exponent
How do you get the exponent?
you get an exponent when you multiply EXAMPLE 10x10x10=1000 that is an exponent NO DONT THINK THAT IF THE EXPONENT IS 3 YOU MULTIPLY IT BY 3 NO WAY JOSE
