Question

What is the definition of exponential decay 

Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have an exponential function, this means that a certain item of sum changes by a fixed percentage rate over a certain period of time.

Decay in Mathematics means reduction. Hence, Applying this knowledge to the concept of exponential Decay, we could say exponential deacy means a reduction process an object or thin undergoes as it decreases by a fixed percentage rate over a certain period of time.

Mathematically, exponential Decay is expressed as :

y = a(1-b)^x

Where, a = Initial amount

(1 - b) = Decay factor ; where b = decay rate.

x = period.
