<h3>Exponential functions</h3>

According to the given function;

The intercept of the function represents the number of customers the restaurant has prior to the review.

This means the number of customers they have prior/before the review (at m=0) is; 500 customers.

Additionally, after 2 months of the review;

C = 500 × (2/3)^2

C = 500 × 0.44

C = 222.22 customers
