Answer:
- growth factor > 1, growth
- growth factor < 1, decay
Step-by-step explanation:
The "growth factor" is the base of a positive exponent in the exponential model.
If it is more than 1, the model models growth.
If it is less than 1, the model models decay.
_____
Decay can also be modeled with an exponential base greater than 1, but a negative exponent.
