5. Exponential Growth
𝐴 𝑡 =𝑎(1+𝑟 ) 𝑡 The function can be used to find the amount A(t) after t time periods, where a is the initial amount and r is the percent of increase per time period. Note that the base of the exponential expression, 1 + r, is called the growth factor.

9. Exponential Decay
𝐴 𝑡 =𝑎(1−𝑟 ) 𝑡 The function can be used to find the amount A(t) after t time periods, where a is the initial amount and r is the percent of decrease per time period. Note that the base of the exponential expression, 1 – r, is called the decay factor.
