Answer:

Initial value 3/2

Exponential decay

Explanation:

Exponential decay has the following formula:

f(t) = a(1-r)^t

where

a = initial value

r = rate of decrease

t = time

If the value inside of the parenthesis is less than 1, then the formula models exponential decay.

If the value inside of the parenthesis is more than 1, then the formula models exponential growth.
