What does the base in an exponential function f of x is equal to A times b to the x th power indicate?

In f(x) = A · b^x, increasing x by 1 multiplies the function’s value by b. Thus, b is the constant factor of change: it represents growth when b > 1 and decay when 0 < b < 1. The base is not a constant difference or amount of decrease.
