A
quantity is subject to exponential decay if it decreases at a rate
proportional to its current value. Symbolically, this process can be expressed
by the following differential equation, where N is the quantity and λ (lambda) is a
positive rate called the exponential decay. So the function represents a exponential decay is
f(x) = 4 (2/3)^x
For this case we have a function of the form:
[tex]y = A * (b) ^ x [/tex]
Where,
A: initial amount
b: change of rate
b> 1: the exponential function grows
b <1: the exponential function decreases
x: independent variable
y: dependent variable
We then have the following function:
[tex]f (x) = 4 (2/3) ^ x[/tex]
Where,
[tex]b = 2/3 [/tex]
As b <1 then the exponential function decreases
