The equation y = 200(1.06)X models an exponential function. Determine if the
function is growth or decay and find the growth or decay rate.

Given:

The given function is

[tex]y = 200(1.06)^x[/tex]

To find whether the function is growth or decay and the growth of decay.

Formula:

The function [tex]a(1+r )^x[/tex] is said to be an exponential growth, if the value of a > 0 and r > 0

Again, the function [tex]a(1-r )^x[/tex] is said to be an exponential decay, if the value of a > 0 and 0 < r < 1.

Now,

[tex]y = 200(1.06)^x[/tex]

[tex]y = 200(1+0.06)^x[/tex]

Thus, the value of a > 0 and r > 0, then the given function is an exponential growth function.

Therefore,

The given function is an exponential growth function.
