Growth and Decay Functions

Previously, we've discussed how linear functions are increasing when they go upward from left to right on a graph

We also know a linear function if its m-value (slope) is positive

 $f\left(x\right)=4^x$  

 $g\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{2}\left(2\right)^x$  

 $y=12\left(50\right)^x$  

 $f\left(x\right)=2\left(1.5\right)^x$  

 $f\left(x\right)=\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^x$  

 $g\left(x\right)=2\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^x$  

 $y=-12\left(0.9\right)^x$  

 $y=10\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x$
