1. In what ways are the formulas for compound interest, exponential growth, exponential decay, a geometric sequence, and the exponential function similar?

2. Is there one formula that could be used for all scenarios? Which formula, and why?

3. How does the value of 'a' in y = c(a)x relate to another variable in each of the other formulas?
