Question

Which function models exponential decay? Select the TWO that apply. . a. f(x) = 150(1+.016)* b. f(x) = 150(1-.016)* c. f(x) = 150(0.84)* d. f(x) = 150(1.16)* nen... ante

Answer 1

The general exponential decay formula is given by:

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

where a is the original amount of what we are studying and b is the percentage by which the orginal amount will decline.

Therefore, comparing the general formula we conclude that the functions that represent exponential decay are b and c.
