You are given Kayla's walking distance along the edge of the river 100 ft and marks point C, then she walks 100 ft further and marks point D and she turns 90° and walks until her location, point A, and point C are collinear. She marks point E at this location. ABC and EDC are congruent.
We will see that the exponential decay function is:
f(x) = 175*(0.8)^x
<h3>
How to find the exponential decay?</h3>
The general exponential decay is:
f(x) = A*(1- r)^x
Where:
- A is the initial value.
- r is the rate of decay in decimal form.
- x is the variable, in this case is the time.
Here we know that the initial value is 175, and the rate of decay is 20%. To get this in decimal form, we just divide it by 100%.
20%/100% = 0.2
Replacing that in the exponential function, we get:
f(x) = 175*(1 - 0.2)^x
f(x) = 175*(0.8)^x
