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 difference exponential growth and decay?
They are incredibly different acceleration patterns. Exponential growth is unbounded, whereas exponential decay is bounded so as to form a "dynamic equilibrium." This is why exponential decay is so typical of natural processes. To see work I have done in explaining exponential decay, go to the page included in the related links.
What is the difference between exponential growth and decay?
Exponential growth is when the amount of something is increasing, and exponential decay is when the amount of something is decreasing.
What is the difference between exponential and nonexponential decay?
Perhaps a good way to explain the difference between exponential and nonexponential decay (like perhaps linear decay) would be to use some examples. In radioactive decay, which is exponential decay, the rate of decay is a function of the amount of material present. The more you have to start with, the more decays per unit of time. The less you begin with the smaller that number of decay events in a given period. And as the decay continues the number of decay events per unit of time decreases. (A consequence is that the material might never be seen to all "go away" in time.) Radioactive decay is a function of the amount of material undergoing decay, and the rate of decay is exponential. That is, when we write the equations for the phenomenon, we'll be using exponents in the expressions to account for the dependence of the decay rate on the amount of material present. There is a good comparison to this. Let's say a group of students is in a classroom and leaves at the bell. The all get up and hit the door, but the rate at which the students can get out is basically a function of the width of the doorway, and not how many students are trying to get out. This is easy to see. If the students go through the door at one student per second and 30 students were in the class, it will take 30 seconds for them to all leave. The rate of "decay" of the population in the room is constant at one student per second. It does not change. It was the same when all the students were trying to get out, and remains constant even as the last couple of students are trying to exit. It is a nonexponential "decay" scheme, and is, in fact, a linear one. The equation expressing the egress phenomenon will not have any exponents in it; all the terms will be what are called first order terms. No "powers" of a number or variable will appear. (A consequence is that the room will empty of students, and definitely so. This is a contrast to radioactive decay.)
What problem cannot be represented by a linear function?

What is the element formed during aplha decay?
It is not an element, but it is just the nucleus of a helium atom. In alpha decay equations, you can denote the alpha particle as 42He because it has an atomic mass of 4 and 2 protons.
What materials absorb aplha?
uranium
What is some others like aplha Kenny body and my dixie wrecked?
SOFA KING WII TARDED =]
What is the name of the final evolution hydranoid?
The Name Of The Fully Evolved Hydranoid Is Aplha Hydranoid That's Alpha Hydranoid.
What are the complex carbohydrates found in plants?
1. Cellulose - beta glucose 2. Starch - aplha glucose
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
What is relative decay?
I believe relative decay is the decay over time.
What is the source of heat in the Earth's interior?
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
What does the decay of actinium turn into?
The natural isotope 227Ac decay: - by beta minus decay: to 227Th - by alpha decay: to 223Fr
What is the beta decay of radium 226?
Radium-226 does not decay by beta decay. It decays by alpha decay to radon-222.
What does ununhexium decay into?
The decay products of ununhexium (after alpha decay) are isotopes of ununquadium.
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
