the trends in the y-values of a function as the x-values approach positive and negative infinity | End Behavior |
an exponential function of the form f(x)=ab^x in which 0<b<1, If r is the rate of decay, then the function can be written y=a (1-r)^t, where a is the initial amount and t is the time | Exponential Decay |
