Exponential growth is when the amount of something is increasing, and exponential decay is when the amount of something is decreasing.
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.
Exponential growth goes infinitely up. Exponential decay goes infinitely over always getting closer to the x axis but never reaching it. ADDED: An exponential decay trace's flat-looking region has its own special name: an "asymptote".
you should include the definition of logarithms how to solve logarithmic equations how they are used in applications of math and everyday life how to graph logarithms explain how logarithms are the inverses of exponential how to graph exponentials importance of exponential functions(growth and decay ex.) pandemics, population)
It can be growth or decay - it depends on whether n is positive (growth) or negative (decay).
Exponential Decay. hope this will help :)

Exponential growth has a growth/decay factor (or percentage decimal) greater than 1. Decay has a decay factor less than 1.

That all depends on the problem given!A general form of the exponential growth/decay is:y = ab^x.If we have an exponential growth, b = 1 + rOtherwise, b = 1 - r.In the second version, the exponential growth is y = Ae^(kt) while the exponential decay is y = Ae^(-kt)
Yes.
The constant factor that each value in an exponential decay pattern is multiplied by the next value. The decay factor is the base in an exponential decay equation. for example, in the equation A= 64(0.5^n), where A is he area of a ballot and the n is the number of cuts, the decay factor is 0.5.
A = A0 e-Bt
A quantity is said to be subject to exponential decay if it decreases at a rate proportional to its value. The time required for the decaying quantity to fall to one half of its initial value.Radioactive decay is a good example where the half life is constant over the entire decay time.In non-exponential decay, half life is not constant.
Time!
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
