Question
What is the exponential growth or decay. Of this function and the constant percentage?
20(.876)^x
Would the percentage be expressed a decimal? I know it is decay ,so would you just add a negative to whatever percentage you get?

it's decay; because the base, being raised to a power, is less than one
the percentage is the difference between the base and one
.876 - 1 = -.124 = -12.4%

.876 - 1 = -.124 = -12.4%
