Question

An Exponential Relationship is fundamentally based on a Starting Value and aGrowth/Decay Factor. To model a Exponential Relationship that is decaying, whathas to be true about the number used for the Decay factor? *

Answer 1

The decay factor has to be less than 1 but greater than 0.

Explanation:

In mathematics, exponential decay describes the process of reducing an amount by a consistent percentage rate over a period of time. It can be expressed by the following formula:

`y=a(1-b)^x`

If a is positive and b is less than 1 but greater than 0, then is an EXPONENTIAL DECAY.
