| Power | the result of repeated multiplication. |
| Base | the number or variable that is used as a factor in repeated multiplication. |
| Function | a rule that establishes a relationship between two quantities, called the input and output. For each input, there is exactly one output. |
| Exponential function | a function of the form y=ab^x, where b>0 and b not equal to 1. |
| Scientific Notation | a number expressed in the form c X 10^n, where c is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 and n is an integer. |
| Exponential growth | a quantity that is increasing by the same percent in each unit of time t where C is the initial amount. y=C(1+r)^t |
| Growth factor | the expression 1+r in the exponential growth model where r is the growth rate. |
| Initial Amount | The variable C in the exponential growth or decay model. |
| Exponential Decay | a quantity that is decreasing by the same percent in each unit of time t where C is the initial amount. y=C(1-r)^t. |
| Decay Factor | the expression 1-r in the decay model where r is the decay rate. |
