Question

Determine if the equation y = 4(5.6)x represents exponential growth or decay.

Answer 1

If you are talking about this:
$y=4(5.6)x$

Then it is actually linear growth, not exponential growth. If you are talking about this:
$y=4(5.6^x)$
Then it is acually exponential growth since the base of the exponent (or 5.6) is a number greater than 1.

Answer 2

I guess the equation should be written: y = 4(5.6)ˣ


Since 5.6>1 this exponential function grows with the value of x
