The given constant is 0.935.

The constant 0.935 is less than 1, so it represents a DECAY.

Subtract the constant from 1 to get the decay rate:


1-0.935=0.065=0.065*100\%=6.5\%

The unit of t is hours.

The exponent is t/24.

The reciprocal is 24.

The time frame of rate: 24 hours

This is equivalent to a day.

Hence, the complete statement is:

The function is decaying exponentially at a rate of 6.5% every day.
