Answer:

f(t) \ = \ 70 \ * \ e ^ { \ - 0.0043 \frac{1}{week} \ * \ t}

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponentials functions are of the form:

f(t) \ = \ A \ * \ e ^ { \ b \ * \ t}

where A and b are constants.

Now, the initial value of the exponential function its

f(0) \ = \ A \ * \ e ^ { \ b \ * \ 0}

f(0) \ = \ A \ * \ e ^ { \ 0 \ }

f(0) \ = \ A \

If the initial value must be 70, this must means:

A \ = \ 70

So

f(t) \ = \ 70 \ * \ e ^ { \ b \ * \ t}

We also know that it must decrease at a rate of 0.43 %, this mean that after one week we got:

100 \ \% - 0.43 \ \%  = 99.57 \ \%

f(1 week) \ = \ 70 \ * 0.9957 \ =  \ 70 \ * \ e ^ { \ b \ * \ 1 \ week}

This means :

0.9957 \ = \ e ^ { \ b \ * \ 1 \ week}

ln ( 0.9957) \ = \ b \ * \ 1 \ week

\ b \ = \frac{ln ( 0.9957)}{ 1 \ week}

\ b \ = - 0.0043 \frac{1}{week}

So, our equation, finally, its:

f(t) \ = \ 70 \ * \ e ^ { \ - 0.0043 \frac{1}{week} \ * \ t}

That'd be y = 70* (1-.00043)^t, where the rate of decrease is really 0.43% and t denotes the # of weeks.  

This simplifies to y = 70*(0.00057)^t.
