Question 10 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY
An exponential expression represents decay when its variable is in the exponent and its positive base is between 0 and 1. In A, the base is 0.3; in C, it is 0.05; and in G, it is 0.9, so all three represent exponential decay. Bases greater than 1, such as 1.2 in F, represent exponential growth instead.
