An exponential function grows or decays by a constant factor for each step in x.

The math behind it

y = a · bˣ. If b > 1 it grows; if 0 < b < 1 it decays. a is the value at x = 0.

Worked Example

100 × 1.05¹⁰ ≈ 162.89 (5% growth for 10 periods).

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this relate to compound interest?

It is the same formula, with b = 1 + interest rate per period.
