Practice Flashcards: SAT Math — exponential models and nonlinear relationships | Zestly

Question 1

Exponential growth base

Accepted Answer

A base $b > 1$ indicates growth, where the percentage increase is $r = b - 1$.

Question 2

Exponential decay base

Accepted Answer

A base $0 < b < 1$ indicates decay, where the percentage decrease is $r = 1 - b$.

Question 3

Starting value in $y = a(b)^t$

Accepted Answer

The coefficient $a$ represents the initial value when $t = 0$.
