1. Half-Life and Doubling Time

2. Half-Life Phenomenon is modeled by a decreasing exponential function (shows decay). Half-life is the amount of time (length of the x-interval) over which the value of the phenomenon is cut in half.

3. Doubling Time Phenomenon is modeled by an increasing exponential function Doubling time is the amount of time (length of the x-interval) over which the phenomenon doubles in size.
