Answer:

exponential decay

Explanation:

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 formula y=a(1-b)x wherein y is the final amount, a is the original amount, b is the decay factor, and x is the amount of time that has passed.Exponential decay occurs when the amount of decrease is directly proportional to how much exists.
