| Scientific Notation | A number expressed in the form cx10n, where 1≤c<10 |
| Exponential Growth | A quantity that is increasing by the same percent in each unit of time. |
| Growth Factor | The expression 1 + r in the exponential growth model where r is the growth rate. |
| Initial Amount | The variable C in the exponential growth or decay model. |
| Time Period | The variable t in the exponential growth and decay models. |
| Percent of increase | The expression 100r is the percent increase where r is the growth rate in the exponential growth model. |
| Growth Rate | The variable r in the exponential growth model. |
| Exponential Decay | A quantity that is descreasing by the same percent in each unit of time t where c is the initial amount. |
| Decay Factor | The expression 1 - r in the exponential decay model where r is the decay rate. |
| Decay Rate | The variable r in the exponential decay model. |
| Percent of Decrease | The expression 100r is the percent of decrease where r is the decay rate in the exponential decay model. |
