Consecutive Growth and Decay Factors

Question 5 • Applications and Modeling

What happens to a graph that is representative of exponential decay? The graph goes:

Answer
A
down and to the right
B
down and to the left
C
up and to the right
D
up and to the left

Explanation

In exponential decay, the value of the function decreases as x increases. Moving from left to right on the graph, the curve therefore goes down, so the graph goes down and to the right. The correct choice is “down and to the right.”
