Answer:

Read it carefully below

Explanation:

Based on the formula you provided, the function appears to model exponential decay. In general, exponential decay occurs when the growth rate of a quantity is proportional to its current value, and the growth rate is a fixed constant less than 1.

In this case, the growth rate is given by the constant factor 7/3 (which is less than 1), and the function uses the variable t as the exponent. As t increases, the value of the function decreases exponentially.
