Without graphing, determine whether the function y=(5.2)^x represents exponential growth or exponential decay.

An exponential function is given by:

               ......[1]

where,

a is the initial amount.

If b > 1, then this is exponentially growth function.

If 0<b<1, then this is exponentially decay function.

As per the statement:

Given the function:

On comparing with equation [1] we have;

a = 1 and b = 5.2

Since, b = 5.2 > 1

⇒the given function is exponentially growth function.

therefore, the function represents exponentially growth function.

this linear equation would have just one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason why this would have one solution is that it is an expression with just one variable. since that variable is not raised to a power, it will always have just one solution.

i hope that is right.
