Rodolfo Simmons · Answer 1

The first is decay, seeing as it is in between 1 and 0

The second is growth, as it is greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It's exponential growth when the base of our exponential is bigger than 1, which means those numbers get bigger. It's exponential decay when the base of our exponential is in between 1 and 0 and those numbers get smaller.
