What are adjectives to describe the change of a number by: adding / subtracting, multiplying?
I'm struggling to find the exact words to describe 2 ways a number change.
I have an initial number A which change periodically where
1/ A[new-value] = A[current-value] + C
2/ A[new-value] = A[current-value] * M
C can be a negative or positive number, and M is a real number greater than 0 (A's value decrease if M less than 1)
The two words i first thought of to describe the two changes were:
1/ The value of A changes additively
2/ The value of A changes multiplicatively
Both didn't sound right because A's value reduces depending on the values of C and M. I'm looking for two similar adjectives that are applicable both ways.
