3. Exponential Function

4. Exponential Growth

6. Rules for Exponents

7. Half-life Exponential functions can also model phenomena that produce decrease over time, such as happens with radioactive decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is the amount of time it takes for half of the substance to change from its original radioactive state to a non-radioactive state by emitting energy in the form of radiation.
