The correct answer is option D which is 0.798
The complete question is given below:-
For an exponential regression equation in the form y=ab^x which of the following values of b will cause y to get smaller as x gets larger?
a.) 1.526
b.) 1.798
c.) 2.526
d.) 0.798
<h3>What is an equation?</h3>It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.
Since we know that an exponential function is in the form:y= ab where,
a= Initial value,
b = For growth b is in form (1+r), where r is the rate in decimal form.
b = For decay or regression b is less than 1 and in form (1-r), where r is the rate in decimal form.
Upon looking at our given choices we can see that options a, b and c are in form 1+r, while the choice provided in option d is less than 1 and in form 1-r, therefore, option d is the correct choice.
Therefore the correct answer is option D which is 0.798
