If b>1 in a function of the form f(x) = ab^x, is the function an example of exponential growth or exponential decay?

It's exponential growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

b/c any value of b that's greater than 1 is an exponential growth function, and anything that's 0<b<1 or if b<0, the function would be an exponential decay.

When ever the problem says is, the next number after that is going to be the answer to the equation. So now you have =5.

Next it say two more which means adding so now we have, +2=5

Now we have the product of a number and 8. This means that the number and 8 equal the product. Now we know that an answer that is a product is a multiplication problem. That means that you have to multiply 8 and the number.

That leaves us with the answer, n•8+2=5
