Compare and contrast expanding and simplifying numeric expressions. For expample, compare simplifying 3(x-2)+(x-1) with 3(5-2)+(5+1).

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a exponential function of the form

where

a is the initial value

b is the base

If the value of b >1 ----> then is a exponential growth

If the value of b <1 ----> then is a exponential decay

Verify each case

case a) we have

b> 1

therefore

The function represent exponential growth

case b) we have

b< 1

therefore

The function represent exponential decay

case c) we have

b> 1

therefore

The function represent exponential growth

case d) we have

b< 1

therefore

The function represent exponential decay
