Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. I will assume the function is:

f(t) = 15(0.86)^t

Required

Determine the rate of decay

In an exponential function f(x) = ab^x,

The decay rate of the function is calculated as:

1 - r = b

By comparison:

b = 0.86

So, the equation becomes:

1 - r = 0.86

Make r the subject

r = 1 - 0.86

r = 0.14

<em>The rate of decay is 0.14</em>
