Given:
Growth rate = 30% decrease
To find:
The growth factor associated with the given growth rate.
Solution:
The general exponential function is:


Where, a is the initial value, r is the growth rate in decimal and
is the growth factor.
It is given that the growth rate is 30% decrease. So,



Now,




Therefore, the growth factor is 0.7.
